1998 3.0 Acura CL Shut off electronically

This happened and I turned it on right away after it stalled out. It then ran for a few hundred miles OK and then the green KEY light started flashing while driving and it seemed to want to stop, BUT IT DID NOT and then it was OK FOR A FEW MILES THIS MORNING.

My guess it is the ignition module of some sort because no warning lights came on; it was as if i was pulling the key out TO SHUT IT OFF.

There is a known issue with the ignition switch on the 98 Acura CL 3.0. The ignition was recalled by the manufacturer. This happened to my 98 CL as well. Since it was a recall, Acura may replace the ignition switch for you at no cost, not sure though as they announced the recall in 2003 I believe.

First things first, have the batter checked. In an old Prelude of mine, as the battery was dying, it caused some really strange, funky things to happen. It was as if the car was possessed and every system was breaking at the same time.

Tranmission

I had a 2002 Acura CL Type S and it started having shutters in tranny made car shake sometimes and not want to go like it should. I changed tranny fluid and filter then drove it about 150 miles then changed fluid and filter again and it ran great no problems with tranny anymore. If you do this you have got to change fluid and filter 2 times if you only do it once you may cause yourself big issues. The 1st time you change it then drive it the yuck inside will come off into fluid that's good as long as you do 2nd change if not the yuck can cause clogs and tranny may fail.

My 1998 acura CL stops while I am driving. It would start immediately but today i had to be towed to a repair place. What would it be?

have the ignition switch checked. When this happens does the speedometer drop to zero?? Is there some warning lights "not lit" when the vehicle stalls?? If yes to either of this, its a ignition switch failure. You may also try starting the vehicle(if possible) in the park position, and shake the key while engine is running, it should die(sometimes it may not even if the switch is worn). Hondas/Acura models years 97-02 were recalled in 2002 for this issue. The internal contacts in the switch encounter excessive arch/shorts due to poor design and too much power running through it. This causes intermitted power failure to vital engine/vehicle electrical components, causing the engine to shut down/stall. This progresses in hotter weather!! If this is the case, contact your local honda/acura dealer with your VIN# at hand for recall info and possible free repair. Otherwise the switches range from $45-$95 at advance or autozone. Hopefully this helps...please rate....thanks

97 ACURA 3.O L STALLS ALL THE TIME

Could be the ignition switch, if the green key light is flashing then the issue is the switch. There was a recall issued for the ignition switch for this car back in 03 for the 97 to 99 Acura CL.
