The most common problem with all CD players is the loading/un-loading mechanism, there is nothing u can do to fix it except have it repaired by an authorized Honda/Acura electronics repair station, this is not the dealer, call dealer parts for a name and number of the closest repair center and send it out yourself, if you go through the dealer they will 2X the bill to u.

Bad tranny like the 99 to 2003 tl's.

Coupla things:
1) I guesssed hot start - I think the system is dealing with gas volatility and trying to ensure that a minimum of unburnt fuel is released into the cat - in the long run, that is good for the air and your car. 2) Here is a tip which really is a tip for everyone for every start. Turn the key to on, but wait a second until you hear the fuel pump cut off - that means the fuel rail is fully pressuruzed, and the car should start right up, for a cold start. It may also reduce the longer crank times during a #1.

Acura's and honda door handles are a little tricky to do.
make sure the window is all the way up.Then
1. u must remove the inside door panel.
next there is a plug on the inside edge of the door . remove this plug.
2. there is a 10mm bolt that hold the door handle on.
on some honda's and acura's door there will be a latch connecting rod. you will need a small tipped screw driver to remove this.
3. next there will be a 10mm bolt connecting the handle to the door inside. remove this bolt.
once the bolts carefully lift the handle upwards to remove the handle from the outside of the door.
At this point u can remove the door latch and other items that u wish to replace.
To install.. reverse this procedure.
Note.. is some cases there will be connecting wires to the handle and door latch itself. they must be disconnected prior to removeing and other components. Its a pain to do, but if u do not do this the connections could break and it is even harder to repair.
Take your time and don't force the parts apart. they are only plastic

There is no way to do a full alignment on any vehicle without a proper alignment setup. Do you have a spare $20,000 to invest in one?

Likely the tranny is shot. My 2002 TLs tranny died @ 21k miles and the replacement died with only 60k miles. $3500 fix.

GET THE SERVICE AND REPAIR MANUAL FROM THE GIVEN LINK AND GET ALL THE KNOWLEDGE YOU WANT http://toolsnyou.com/

My personal suggestion would be to go for these repair catalogs. I know this website www.reliable-store.com that i used to buy them from, and they have it all online and it was very good manual. Go ahead, I bet.

The switch is not making contact after depress , change out the switch , find a auto tech you can trust good luck

Did it file any trouble codes?

Toyota and Acuras are notorious for the VSA system. It is very efficient at finding a problem , but hell trying to tell you specifically what it is. Your Transmission needs repair. You must have it towed. Do not try to drive it or force it to move. Transmission will need overhaul,,,be sure to tell the mechanic to check the trans cooler also when it get overhauled. It usually happens as the car gets near its 100,000 mile mark.

Sounds like a bad battery connection(s) or starter motor connection. Contacts must be squeaky clean since you are dealing with low voltage

I seriously doubt it. . .
