I drove my 2000 Acura TL to the shopping mall. When I tried to restart the car after about 30 minutes later, I could not start the car. The outside temperature display showed 20C even the outside temperature was around 8C. I had to open all window and the car door to wait until the temperature display dropped to 11C and I could start the car again. I wonder what's the problem.

SOURCE: starter replacement on acura 2000 TL 3.2

This starter can be changed without disassembling the top of the engine on the 2.5 with automatic transmission. You will need a 10mm, 14 mm, 17mm, and a 9mm wrench. First with any electrical repair disconnect the battery at the negative terminal. The starter is on the driver's side close to the firewall below the intake manifold. Remove the transmission dip stick so you don't ruin it, then look and study the starter itself. You will notice the starter drive housing with a top and bottom bolt. The top bolt is a 14mm and the bottom a 17mm, loosen both a half turn. Remove the top 14mm bolt first, then the bottom 17mm, this will allow you to pull the starter out of the bell housing. With some angling and no brackets holding the back of the starter you should be able to pull it out enough to disconnect the positive wire and 9mm nut from the soleniod. Disconnect the starter ignition small wire by pulling it off it's connector. Now just pull it out of the engine and fender void and you've got it, saving about a hundred and fifty dollars of labor. Take it to the parts house and match it up with a well made remanufactured or new starter. Reverse the proceedure, hook up the battery.

SOURCE: 99 Acura TL dies when I try to start

I have helped many Honda/Acura owners on this issue. Many mechanics will replace many parts prior to solving this problem, which then creates unnecessary repairs and spending. So here is my diagnosis: Notice if your speedometer drops to zero when your engine dies while driving. If this happens its your ignition switch failing. Ignition switches in Honda/Acura vehicles years 97-02 encounter faulty or shorted internal contacts. This causes premateur electrical failure to vital engine electrical parts, causing vehicle to stall intermittedly. A recall has been in place since 2002, approximately 1.3mil vehicles are affected, call your local honda/acura dealer for info and possible free repair or replace the ignition switch yourself. Hopefully my info helps you!!

SOURCE: My 2005 acura tl has a weird sound when its really

My 2003 Acura 3.2 TL has this same problem now for three years. In very cold weather starting around - 8 degrees C. I hear the noise when I am moving at a slow speed and only when I turn a corner i.e when the wheels are at an angle. Once the temperature goes back up the noise disappears. I have been at the Acura dealer for service in the winter and heard other folks saying they had this problem and were made to change ball joints, steering ends and repair the traction control system.

SOURCE: where is plug in acura 2000 tl for check engine

The OBDII connector is located in the center console just behind the ashtray. There is a plastic cover that must be removed and you will find the connector behind the cover.

2000 acura tl 3.2 wont start when hot starts after cool down several hours later

If nothing happens when you turn the key, the starter doesn't even try to turn over, then you may have a faulty connection on a wire near the engine that loses connectivity when the insulation is earned up and softened. The connection is reestablished when the wire cools and firms up. You will not be able to visually see the damage as it is covered by insulation. To locate the short, test each wire with an omh meter while the engine is warm. Does the engine warm up and then die while running? Or will it not restart once you kill the ignition while the engine is warm? If it dies while running, then you have a faulty ground wire. Try Replacing the ground wires from the battery to the chassis and the one from the engine to the chassis. Will take about an hour of your time and somewhere around $10. Don't run all your ground from the same connection.

How much air should be in the tires of my Acura 2000 TL?

Anywhere between 30-35 psi. Probably 30 or 32 psi though. It really does not matter as long as it's in that range. Hope this helps, James Booth.

Hi my name is Tom and I am here to help you.

Electrical problems are the most difficult to diagnose and fix. I will offer some ideas, but a phone call or INTERNET talk would be necessary if my suggestions do not solve your problem.

I believe you have what is called a dead short. Some where you have a wire touching and grounding the voltage from the battery. You start the car and the alternator stores energy to the battery. If you start within 30-60 minutes there is enough voltage to start your car. If you wait overnight the short drains the battery.

This is a time consuming task and you may want to simply have a shop do it for you. You need to check all the wires that come close to grounding out on the metal of the car. I take these problems to a shop because I know they can never charge me the time it will take to find the problem.

I trust this is of some help. If I can be of further help please call or mail.

ACURA TL 2007 HEAVY NOISE IN THE ENGINE FOR 4 5

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.
