1999 Acura SLX Questions & Answers
Acura will stall when driving.
all cars can stall, even can be normal, (extreme cold climates)
there are simple tests to find the path..
check for loose or bad fuses.
1: lost 12vdc power to the EFI system (fuel and spark)
2: engine warms up and loses compression.
3: dead (dies on fly) or weak, spark or never ever tuned up.
4: bad fueling.
5: EGR sticks open (hard to save with fast right foot but can)
6: ISC stuck close, staving engine of air. (fast right foot saves easy)
those are macro reasons, we can break them all down to tests.
and when it stalls, attach a scan tool see if there are stored DTC error codes in memory.
if in extreme climates (N.Canada? say?) us the WOT trick in the operator guide. wot wide open throttle cranking clears flooding.
there are about 3 to 5 tests. with tools (cheap ) to find the cause.
some are free. (looking at spark plug tips is free)
a DIY man has hand tools and so they are free.

What has happened on some of them is the hydraulic tensioner on the timing belt goes out, when the engine is running the belt bounces nicely to the rhythm of the engine causing a knock. Take a peek in the timing cover and make sure the timing belt is tight on the tensioner side.
Hope this helps.

Hi my exhaust warning light
try changing the lambada sensor or the O2 sensor as it may be called in your neck of the woods ,i think this will solve your problem check that it doesnt have two sensors one before the cat and one after ,If iam correct it should go out on its own then ,Or check them with a automotive meter ??
