Quoted From EricTheCarGuy:
Let me put it this way, I was putting in 2 sometimes 3 transmissions in those cars a day when I worked for Acura (I can do one in about an hour and a half with my eyes closed) and on more than one occasion I put one in for the second or 3rd time. Based on your description and my experience if you have eliminated an engine performance problem it’s likely you need a transmission.
Beastin’ it up!
Wow thats weird since the cooling fan is electric and not run by a belt. If I were you I would go ahead and replace the tensioner assembly. Its not real expensive and its good practice to replace the tensioner when you put a new belt on it.
How does the belt feel? Grab a hold of the belt (engine off of course 😛 ) try to twist it side to side. It should only be able to twist 1/4 turn at the most
Practicing tearing down/assembling 4t60 transmissions at school. My partner and I were as clueless about transmissions as you can get. Anyway, after spending over a week frustrated and finding all kinds of creative ways of swearing we finally were about done assembling it. One of the last steps was installing a c-clip on the output shaft. Yep you betcha’, it slipped down into the eternal darkness of various gears and gizmos. Got to tear it down for a 2nd time!!! A:(
Well if the engine isnt running you wont be able to check the clutch unless you jumper the relay or some other way of getting 12 volts to the clutch. Even so, it wont tell you much cuz the engine wont be running. Also, if you look at the front of the ac compressor by the belt when someone turns the ac on you will hear it click and you will see the clutch engage/disengage
It means the upstream and downstream oxygen sensors are reading similiar. The upstream should be switching back and forth from rich to lean while the down stream (after the cat) should be relatively stable. Its possible you have a bad cat, damaged or bad 02 sensor, exhaust leak…. among others
well unless its a VDOT air conditioning system, in which case once you turn the ac on the clutch wont cycle on and off
Quoted From EndSupremacy:
+1 on both of your posts. I do believe it is most likely your cat. If you want to be sure, test your o2 sensors and make sure they are working fine. Also, check for exhaust leaks. You said you had some engine problems? It could possibly be that your computer was used to the engine running bad and now that it is running good, it’s reading lean or rich. Disconnect your battery and let it sit for 30-45 mins. Then re-connect it. The code won’t be there, but drive the car around. If it doesn’t come back, then you don’t have a problem. If it comes back, then do the tests. Just hope it’s not the cat. Don’t know about your car, but a cat for my car cost about $600, and that’s on ebay.
Excellent post!
just pop out the switch and use a testlight to see if you have voltage at the wires while you push down on the button (key on of course)
first off i think i forgot to ask, do ANY of the drivers side switches work? Can you roll down any of the windows using the drivers side switches, including the drivers side window?
If you dont have voltage I would check your relay. Place your finger lightly on the relay and have someone activate the switch. You should be able to feel it click
I believe #15 is the correct one. Im not familiar with acura products but It would be the power window relay in the fuse box. If it doesnt click I would check that you do have power where the relay plugs into the fuse box. If you do, replace the relay.
Also, if the horn or something like that has the exact same relay ( and you know it works) you can swap it out and check the windows. Its also possible that maybe you just got a bad (new) switch
the fact that one of the switches on the d/s master switches work leads me to believe that the relay is probably ok and maybe you have some pinched wires or corrosion. Maybe inspect the switch again and see if anything is out of the ordinary
Also, if you have some jumper wires you could pull the relay out, energize it, and see if you have continuity on the switch side of it
