Very delayed ignition and weird start-up!

Hi, I have a 2004 Acura TSX- auto w/ navi and it is a certified used with about 45k. When I start up in the morning- whether cold or warm outside temp- it tends to revv revv revv then has a hard start. As the engine is warming up, it also tends to vibrate a lot when idling. Any idea what this could be? I took it to the dealership twice already and they said they can't figure it out since everything tested is keeps checking out...

I do have a 04 TSX, but never came across the issue you report. However, I had an old car once that had a similar issue which I traced to a bad sparkplug which was replaced to fix the issue. Also, you could first try and check your batteries and maybe put a new one to see, if that resolves it. Hope it helps.

2006 Acura TSX air bag light comes on and the radio cuts off and on as well as the dash lights and twice the car has died out after this what could be the issue?

For major, weird electrical issues like that, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer and the skill to use it. Sounds like communication issues with the BCM.

Fuse 28, a 10AMP fuse may be blown/bad. You may need a new one. Or your bulb may have burnt out. It's 12 years old. Any auto parts store guy could help you with it. (lower left side in this pic)

I have a 2004 Acura TSX that I just had maintenance work done on two weeks ago, and I was driving it yesterday and it made a irregular "clicking" noise, and then stopped after about 10 sec. and starte

only clickin i can think of that would make idling erratic is the timing has become out. and the pistons are hitting the valves. this would click or tap and eventually go bang. would not recommend reving or driving it till the timing has been checked.

Acura 2007 tsx with navigation in the auto day night mode the nav screen doesn't automatically change to the night setting how can i fix this?

Turn the display brightness knob (the one up by the speedometer) down. When the brightness knob is at max the navi will not go into night mode. This information is in the manual buried somewhere.
