Problem with idling on 99 Acura TL
99 Acura 3.2 TL with 86000 miles...
My car was fine a few days ago. Now, when I start it the idle goes up and down like crazy. Any ideas what it could be? The idle control valve was replaced just last year! |

Re: Problem with idling on 99 Acura TL
I got this a few years ago on my bmw 325I. It was due to the lambda sensor.
It mesures the level of o2 i think.

Re: Problem with idling on 99 Acura TL
FWIW, I had this problem on another car (not my Acura). It was diagnosed as
a faulty oxygen sensor causing fluctuations in the richness of the fuel mix. |
