Why does the check engine light in my TL turn on when I start my car?

It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your TL firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.

Why is my Acura TL making engine noise?

Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Acura TL engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.

Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.

Is it okay to put water in my Acura TL radiator?

An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your TL when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.

What could cause my TL engine to suddenly stop?

If your TL car engine suddenly stops, it could be due to overheating, low fuel, a faulty ignition system, sensor problems, electrical system trouble, or mechanical issues.
