I have a 2001 Acura 3.2 CL 2D Type S w navigation system. One day it would crank but would not start. After sitting for a few hours, it started right up. Drove it to the mechanic. He changed the fuel pump and the relay. That was a couple of months ago. Last weekend, it did exactly the same thing. Do you have a solution?

SOURCE: 2002 Acura RSX type S wont start

If you heard a click when you cranked it, that's usually a dead battery. But, you need to check the oil level. I've had 2 RSX's that jumped time because the oil level dropped too low.

The tensioner on the timing chain is hydraulically controlled, if the oil level drops the tensioner looses tension and the chain jumps time. Its an extensive and expensive repair.

SOURCE: 95 Acura Integra starting problem

This happened to me on a 95 Integra GSR and the entire starter did not need to be replaced, just the solenoid pieces. They get old and worn down and the plunger no longer makes a good connection with them, hence the "click". Replace the solenoid panels and sand the plunger and your good as new. You can find instructions for this on the net, just do a search for it.

Why does my Acura CL die when driving?

Check wires. Mainly the battery wires. then work your way out. Start the car up and start shaking wires until it stops. If that doesnt work, then get a mechanic to look.

Acura 2001 cls won't start in hot sun

There is a known issue with a relay, located in the steering column. 2001 acura 3.2 cls you can have it replaced with a better designed relay (Mfg replacement is a little larger relay than OEM) The day to day solution is to cover your steering column with a cool damp towel this will cool off the relay and 'release it out of the mode where it thinks your car is already started' I think the relay cost about 75 bucks. Believe me the cool towel or just cover with a white towel works. My husband has been doing this for over a year because he is too frugal to replace the relay....It works 99.999995 percent of the time. While I'm here this vehicle also had a recall for a known transmission problem, so if you had any repairs to your tranny I'd be looking to my dealer for an explanation if you were charged for repairs. My husband got his replaced free as the second owner after I did the research for him! And that rearview mirror full of highly toxic liquid Acura refuses to replace even after the lowuid leaks all over your interior and ruins your console...
