Just purchased used 2001 Acura MDX. The trip computer does not work. My cd, radio, ac, etc. works. Just nothing comes up on the lcd screen. Unsure if its a fuse issue or do I need to replace the trip computer screen? If I cannot find a Trip Computer screen, can I substitute with a double din dvd/gps system and what would you recommend?
better is to replacewith a double din dvd/gps system
Acura MDX trailer hitch
Look under the car,your muffler should have rubber hanger rings. Try using a smaller rubber ring hangers or bigger which ever meets your need,to achive more space between your muffler and the hitch.That is an easy quick and cheap fix,as these rubber ring hangers are shelf item,at auto zone.
My friends lost their manual, but we need to get this totally straight. Thanks.

I need a female name for my car. I drive a silver 2000 Acura TL. It has black leather, custom interior blue LED lights, and runs smooth. Any ideas?
Bertha
ebony (since the interior is black) and if you ever get a lexus name it alexis (ah-lexus).
that way you can have ebony and alexis.
Tara , Tania , Faith , Tityana , Mania , Maha , Pinky , Juliat.
Good Luck

I took my 2008 RL into the Acura dealer for its "scheduled maintenance" only has 24k miles on it but for some reason B12 light was on.Service dept said I drive my car too hard because the B12 only comes on at 30k miles or harsh driving conditions.Well, I hardly drive the car and I certainly do not drive extreme.Anyway, car was done the same day. I picked it up the next morning and drove 4 miles when the "check sh-awd" light came on.I took the car back to the dealer and it has been a week they’ve had my car and they still don’t know what the problem is.Computer was changed now the rear differential is being changed.What happens if they can’t fix the car?How long do I have to wait?(They’re providing me a loaner)They still don’t know what the problem is – so they’re just doing trial and error replacements.This has got to be costing Acura a FORTUNE.When is enough enough and what kind of options does Acura offer owners if the problem cannot be corrected?
Go to your states website and check the lemon law.
I have a 2006 acura rsx and my key is stuck in the ignition. I can turn the key forward but not turn it all the way back to the off position. Therefore my key will not come out. I can still start my car and drive it but I need to stick my key in the slot on the shifter and put the shifter in N to start the vehicle. Park also doesn’t register. I put the shifter in Park position but it will just lock there and I can not start my car from that locked position. I would put the key in the slot and than move the shifter. I also have to use my E brake to park because like I said it does not register in park. HELP PLEASE 
There is probably a release button for the ignition on or near the actual key hole or somewhere near the ignition, you have to press it to allow the ignition to fall back to release the key.
Go to your Acura dealer!! It’s an 06 so it should still be under warranty, they should fix whatever is wrong
motor to go fast
These are on a stock spec motor (~140whp).Just some ideas for you to start with.
Option 1 – Beastly Street Setup:
Turbo Kit (t3/t04e turbo minimum)
Boost Components (Injectors, boost controller)
3" Exhaust (including 3" cat)
Tuning Device (Hondata/eCtune/Neptune)
Dyno Tuning (about 2-3hrs)
Clutch (optional but recommended for boost)
Stage 1 cams (Skunk2/Blox/OEM ITR optional)
Results: ~360whp (mild tune w/ cams, pushing limits)
~350whp (extreme tune pushing limits)
~300whp (mild tune)
~280whp (conservative tune)
~275whp (smaller exhaust and mild tune)
~240whp (no tune and motor risk)
Option 2 – Simple and mild Bolt-ons:
Intake (Short ram/Ice box style would be best)
Header (Tri-Y style or larger 4-1 type)
2.5" Exhaust (including 2.5" cat)
Tuning Device (Apexi VAFC/Hondata/Crome)
Dyno Tuning (about an hour)
Intake Manifold (Skunk2/Blox optional)
Stage 1 Cams (Skunk2/Blox/OEM ITR optional)
ITR/CTR Tranny (optional but would help with accel)
Results: ~190whp (with cams and manifold)
~170whp (without cams)
~160whp (without cams and manifold)
~155whp (smaller exhaust system)
~150whp (no tune)
buy a turbo-charger
or programmer chip
or new headers and exhast tip(exhast system)
or get new seals and piston so you can use higher octane fuel
You can do all of them together.
Intake, full exhaust, underdrive pulley, weight reduction
cold air intake, port heads, add a header, under drive pulleys, camshaft, ect….
gsr is quick..bolt ons and ecu can help you tune it

I have a 2004 Acura TL and I think something is wrong. It tells me how much MPG’s I get with a full tank. I use this fuel ejection cleaner called tune up in a can and its been helping a lot. Recently I went from getting 320 Miles to a full tank to barely getting 250. What’s going on… I need some help asap because its killing me to fill up my tank so often and I haven’t changed any of my routine. I only use the Fuel Ejection cleaner when I get an oil change. HELP!!!
using the computers to calculate mpg is not the most accurate method.going forward, you should calculate it yourself by the # of gallans you put in and the number of miles between fill-ups.i use the trip meter to track this.
look into getting a tune-up and check your tire pressure to see if that could be a cause.it’s great that you do track mileage because it can and will indicate when a problem may be occurring.
It could also be the gas. I noticed that on my 2004 TL as well.I asked the service dept one time about it and they said that depending on winter vs. summer and where you buy your gas could change that figure.
what do you actually get on a tank?the little trip computer in my car says I would get 250 per tank, but I would actually get over 300 – 330 combined highway and city.
how do you jack up a honda ? well now i know not to use fuel injection cleaner
i have four 05 rsx skunk2 lowering springs and is wondering if it would fit on a 94 acura legend
i highly doubt it, the legend is bulkier like a accord where as the rsx is smaller similar to the civic.
No way.You might get lucky and they would fit a Civic.
