P0443 evap canister purge valve. Part of the gas tank evaporative system. Look for Acura bulletins for repairing.

Have you tested/looked into the throttle actuator control relay or module for issues? Both are located on the pass side.......so if the ac drain/filter got clogged and allowed water onto those there could be an issue with them. Also check your connections at the throttle body.

all newer hondas, and acura. (works the same way) open glove box take put operators guide, read radio page. here is the quote. (posted many times) quote 2008 opr.guide.(lost it, huh?) Accord. non satellite Rad. Quotes: Your vehicle's audio system may disable itself if it is disconnected from electrical power for any reason. To make it work again, you must enter a specific five-digit code with the preset buttons. Because thereare hundreds of number combinations possible from the five digits, making the system work without knowing the exact code is nearly impossible. You should have received a radio code card that lists your audio system's code and serial numbers. {glove box find} It is best to store this card in a safe place at home. In addition, youshould write the audio system's serial number in this owner's manual. If you lose the card, you must obtain the code number from your dealer. To do this, you will need the audio system's serial number. If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead, or the radio fuse is removed, the audio system will disable itself. If this happens, you will see ''ENTER CODE'' in the frequency display (on the screen on models with navigation system) the next time you turn on the system. Use the preset buttons to enter the five-digit code. The code is on the radio code card included in your owner's manual kit. When it is entered correctly, the radio will start playing. If you make a mistake entering the code, do not start over; complete the five-digit sequence, then enter the correct code. You have 10 tries toenter the correct code. If you are unsuccessful in 10 attempts, you must then leave the system on for 1 hour before trying again. The system will retain your AM and FM presets even if power is disconnected. {only on newer cars' General information on Honda and DIY: {the code can be obtained from any Honda dealership (you must give him/her your radio serial number (sticker off radio)"} or any locksmith with a license from..NASTIF Honda1 ServiceExpress (Same info as ISIS) Acura ISIS (Dealer version w/ advanced search) http://nastf.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3462

A few things cause the threads for the pan plug to fail. Overtightening, smashed threads on the plug itself, and probably the most common, cheaply made oil pan.

Lost Communication With Throttle Actuator Control Module. only thing i can come up with.

you proberly need to put a code number in if its a factory fitted radio it should be in with all your drivers handbook or radio manual if not you will have to go to a main dealer and ask them if they can get you the code

I think I would be taking a hard look at the battery cables. They need to be clean and tight. If you can move them with your hand, this is the problem. If they are corroded - replace them...

the fues is blown.

Don't take it to them.

At only 42000 miles, there shouldn't be anything on the vehicle nearing that cost even to replace.

For service under a regularly scheduled maintenance, a tire rotation, new oil, spark plugs, brake cleaning, all fluids including the transmission, and even throw in all new exterior lighting...wouldn't cost nearly 550 dollars.

For the radio I know you have to do this: If you have jumped or replaced the battery at anytime this will happen. You have to get the serial number off the radio by removing it or partially taking it out to see the numbers on it try not to remove any cords. With the stereo out (to make sure you get the right number off of it) call an Acura dealership with the number and they will give you the another number to enter into the stereo and directions on how to punch the numbers in. Make sure while you have the stereo out you write the serial number down and keep it in a safe place also the number that the Acura dealership gives you because if you sell the car or if it happens again its easily accessible. Then call the dealership as you might have blown a fuse for the rest of the problems. Good Luck!

being an 07 your car is covered for all emmissions related problems for 8yrs 80k miles under warranty. recommend taking to acura dealer,so as to incur no cost to you

If someone could over night your keys would be alot cheaper,one more night at the motel,then a garage charges for removing your ignition switch and door locks replaced.

There are two mechanical noises you will hear from an engine, lifter noise, wrist pin slap, and rod bearing noise. The only one that will go away, if at all, with engine warm-up, is lifter noise. All assuming of course, the noise is coming from the engine, and not any of the externally mounted accessories.
Have the oil changed, and continue to change every 2000-3000 miles with a good quality oil, maybe the lifter will clear itself. If it does, maintain the oil changes for the next few changes to assure it is cleaning out.
You might also try adding 1-2 pints Berrymen's Chemtool to the oil 200-300 miles before you plan to change the oil.

Take your car to any autozone or advance autoparts and they can do a free battery and alternator test. Also do you have any aftermarket accessories that could be constantly drawing from the battery.(Subwoofers, Aftermarket deck that requires you to hit the power off button?) I would guess that a new battery would fix your issue if you dont have any aftermarket loads. OE batteries these days are getting cheaper and junkier.

It depends on what kind of uneven wear you are talking about if the front is wearing on the inside or outside on one side or both yes you need an alignment but if front tires are are worn about the same on the inside and outside of the tire that is not uncommon it is better to rotate the tires about every 5,000-7,000 and keep the air close to maximum as they will get you better gas mileage and wear better example if the tire says a maximum of 44psi put about 38-40psi when tires are cold and havent been ran.If those are the original tires and you have 49,000 on your car then you don't need an alignment.

check fuse # 8 under dash the fuse box is by your hood release and left side kick panel

Navigation has no relevence at all. but what does is the vent system in the dash.there is a flap inside the vents under the dash it sounds like it is not moving on the passengers side.

more so the DFI module under the coils also swapp or change fuel pump relay with another relay in fuse box under bonnet in case relay issue the other relay to check by doing this is also the EFI MAIN relay near other relay. have seen these relays be overlooked many times.
