Not really as it could be any one. Best bet is to start with the cheapest fix--checking wiring and connections

You need to take the car to an Auto Electrician. This is a clear case of a stripped positive + wire making contact with the body of the car thus shorting out the fuse. Do not attempt to put in a higher amp fuse to try and resolve the matter. The fact that the fuse blows if a safety measure that prevents the car's wiring system from completely burning out. Save yourself this headache and take the car for an electrical system test. Explain to the Auto Electrician that this happens when you put the car in reverse - and he my have to completely rewire the reverse light and reverse switch in the gearbox.

Okay, so usually when there are a large number of codes that show up at one time they are usually related, so one problem could cause multiple codes to appear. Here is a link to a trouble code reference sheet for the 96 - 98 Acura TL Acura 9698 3 2TL Trouble Code Info From this sheet we can see that your issues all relate to your o2 sensor heater circuit, so the first step would be to check all your fuses, the problem could be as easy as your o2 heater circuit fuse is blown. next i would check the connections to the o2 sensors themselves, make sure you have good connections and clean the connections with some di-electric grease which you can pick up at any autostore and spray it in both connectors (the wiring harness for the car and the connector attached to the o2 sensor) let them dry then reattach them. if this does not fix the problem sadly you might have to start replacing the o2 sensors. Good Luck

depend, on engine option. and what year, not posting year. no answers are possible lacking this. the fsm covers this in chapter 1. first thing. to fix a motor you need know which one you have first.

hot soak failures, (im good at those, my specialty (electronics) 1: lost spark that first thing to do failed is check for spark. if spark bad,? 1998 ( ill post for NOT FLOODING and tuned up,) do this and the ECU will tell you why !!! 1: connect any scan tool to the 16pin DLC port. next to knees 2: crank for 5seconds. 3: release key, do not turn of key see those DTC errors. that IS the cause. p0340 ,355? or any codes, they will tell you if CMP fails, CKP failed, or just spark. the ecu makes spark, so if CMP/CMP fails, it sees that fast. if CMP/CKP are bad, it will throw bad spark codes. for bad coil.

double posted, in same hour back up one.

no year, no joy !!! nor engine sized stated and its bad. there like 10,000 posts here for that. huge. and there are 50 causes. this is called, my engine stalls. do you what a guess> or test.? there are about 5 tests. DIY, or get help , if DIY, (are you) then ask for the tests. the first step is a tune up, do the 60,000 mile tune listed in the operators guide in the glove box, (used for fire starter?)
