My 2005 Acura MDX CRANKS but does start what could it. Be

More information please. What exactly do you mean by "smoked some"? How heavy was the smoke, was it thicker and heavier than normal? Did it have colour to it like a dense white or a blue tint? This information gives clues to the problem. The engine spinning but not starting is commonly a 'No spark' issue but if you can get it to run some of the time it could be a faulty sensor. Do you have any warning lights on the dash? It could be worth you getting it scanned with an OBD2 scanner to look for trouble codes. These give clues to any faulty sensors. If you have to pay for this service ask at 4 or 5 places as prices can be VERY different. Why do you need access to the fuses under the stereo? These are not normally a common set of fuses that cause issues. The fuse panels most commonly used in an MDX are under the hood, left side trim panel (nearest the door hinge) in the driver's footwell and in the left side trim panel in the truck.

Transmission control module location on my 98 Acura 30 cl

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) on a 1998 Acura 3.0 CL is located under the center console, just in front of the shifter. To access it, you will need to remove the center console by unscrewing and prying off the cover around the shifter and then removing any screws or bolts holding the console in place. However, slow gear engagement and trouble shifting into 2nd and 3rd gears can have multiple causes, and the TCM may not necessarily be the root cause. It's best to have the vehicle diagnosed by a qualified mechanic or Acura dealership to determine the exact cause of the transmission issues.

What would cause my 01 acura cl 3.2 to shutter i changed coil packs and spark plugs and it still sounds like its missing

  1. Faulty fuel injector: A clogged or faulty fuel injector can cause insufficient fuel supply to the engine, resulting in a misfire.
  2. Ignition system problems: A faulty ignition coil, ignition control module, or distributor can cause a misfire in the engine.
  3. Vacuum leaks: A vacuum leak in the engine can cause an imbalance in the air-fuel mixture, leading to a misfire.
  4. Faulty EGR valve: A malfunctioning EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can cause a misfire by altering the air-fuel mixture in the engine.
  5. Low compression: Low compression in one or more cylinders can cause a misfire.
To diagnose the specific cause of the misfire in your car, you should take it to a qualified mechanic who can perform a diagnostic test to pinpoint the issue. They may use a scan tool to check for any stored error codes in the car's computer or perform a cylinder compression test to check for any issues with the engine's compression. O

Acura 2008 MDX phone blue tooth connect is grayed out

If the Bluetooth connection and HFL (HandsFreeLink) option on your 2008 Acura MDX are grayed out, it may be due to a few different causes. Here are some possible solutions:
  1. Check to make sure that your phone is compatible with the Bluetooth system in your Acura. If your phone is not compatible, it will not be able to connect.
  2. Make sure that the Bluetooth feature on your Acura is turned on. If it is not, you will not be able to connect your phone.
  3. Make sure that your phone's Bluetooth feature is turned on and that it is in pairing mode. If it is not, you will not be able to connect.
  4. Make sure that the phone is not already paired to another device. If it is, it will not be able to connect to your Acura.
  5. Check for software updates for your Acura's radio or navigation system. Sometimes updates can fix issues with Bluetooth connectivity.
  6. If your Acura was recently serviced, the technician may have disconnected the battery, which could cause the settings to be lost. In this case, you may need to have the settings reset by a Acura dealership.
If the problem persist, it may be necessary to take your vehicle to an Acura dealership to have it checked and repaired if necessary.

Acura 2004 is making a squeaking noise when driving

More information please. When exactly does it 'squeak'? Is it a single squeak or a constant repeating squeak that changes with your road or as you rev the engine? Does it happen as you pull away and start accelerating? Does it happen when you hit potholes or turn tight corners. Does it happen as you press the brakes? Comment below with more information and I'll see if I can help you more.
