weird tsx problem
weird tsx problem
2004 tsx. Automatic
This is my wifes car, vehicle is in great shape and normally runs like a beautiful little kitten.
Well 4 days ago, the car was having some starting issues and it wouldnt start 2 times. Had the battery tested and it was in need of replacement. It was the stock battery, had only 140 cranking amps left so that was the issue. After replacing the battery that nite, the car started much stronger and ran perfectly fine.
Ever since the day after battery replacement, the car is not acting right. The car idles higher, like significantly higher. It has noises that the car never had before. When you are coming to a stop it feels like the car wants to keep going and you have to hold the brake a little harder. The car drives perfectly fine and is not seeming to make any excess noise when driving. But when coming to a stop the engine just does not sound right. All maintenance is up to date, oil changes on time the car is well taken care of.
I know that is vague, but thats all I can muster to describe whats happening, its like the car is getting TOO MUCH juice, but I would think the ecu would control the amount of current that is put through the electronics and the motor from being that high at idle.
If anyone can suggest anything, I would highly appreciate it. The shop that I would normally go to is closed on the weekends and I need to figure out the problem as I dont want the wife driving the car if its going to cause any damage. It sitting in the driveway until it is fixed.
Thank you.

Re: weird tsx problem
nevermind. talked to a friend of mine who is a tech
Touched the battery cables together, removed the ecu fuse as well and cleaned the throttle plate since that sensor right there runs a bunch of stuff. let the car idle with no electric load on it for 10 minutes. than drive for 20 to relearn perameters. Runs perfect again, exactly like it did prior. thankfully.
