car is sputtering and running hot

Asked by randyculp Jun 04, 2013 at 03:54 PM about the 2004 Acura TSX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

1 Answer

please do have your diagnostic trouble codes read and report back to us...it could be any number of sensors what is tellin' the throttle to run rich...could be cracked butyl rubber hoses...not sure what Acura uses but BMW uses the silicone hoses (more expensive, but practically indestructible) change the black rubber with silicone if you're feeling as though nine years is long enough for them starting to leak and crumble~
