Do you have to pull intake manifold to replace starter on 02 acura rsx base 2.0 auto trans

2002 2006 Acura RSX Intake Manifold Gasket DNJ Acura Intake Manifold... Could this be of help, I've tried a manual on my bike.. Was pretty easy.

Did you pull the intake manifold to change starter?? Sounds like you have a massive intake leak

Why haven't you replaced that filter yet? Whoever told you that you have a rusted filter should have replaced it!!!

I HAVE AN 04 ACURA RSX 2.0LV-TECH, AND IVE REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT ITS STILL ACTING LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND ITS SLUGGISH TO TURN OVER. IM LEANING TOWARDS THE STARTER BUT WOULD LIKE A SECOND OPINION.

1ST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS CK TRANS FLUILD ON FRONT SIDE OF TRANS AND MAKE SURE IT IS NOT LOW,AND MAY ALSO START BEING SIGNS OF TRANS ISSUE,NEED TO HAVE CK BY TRANS SHOP IF FLUILD IS NOT LOW SO YOU WANT DO ANY MORE DAMAGE IF CASE OF TRANS ISSUE,HOPE I WAS A HELP

If the RPM's are going pretty low to where the car seams like its about to die, then it could be a vaccum leak. Whick could be cause by a bad gasket or something maybe didnt get sealed right when putting everything back together. If you do decide to change the gasket, i would recommend the "Hondata Intake Manifold Gasket". Its thicker and not made from metal and also keeps your intake manifold cooler.

Just hit the reset button, i have a 03 Civic Si same motor as base RSX mine came on everytime when i kept disconnecting the plug, never came back on. (i have a short ram intake)

i got the same computer reading on my 2002 rsx-my emissions reading was just fine. i have done nothing about replacing and/or repairing the oxygen sensor for the past year and no surging or anything. i also wondered if using ethanol gas had anything to do with messing up the sensor as it was too much of a coincidence that after using two tankfuls of ethanol gas, the engine light came on

I had the saem problem, you should have a code that came with the manual its on a card and it will give you the password. If you dont have one take it to a honda/acura dealership

Sounds like intake air system, look for cracks in hoses (possible intake manifold gasket) all vacuum hoses and connections. Make sure TPS and all filters are clean. Sounds like a lean mixture/flooding issue. Common problems with FWD is the Air Intake Hose, lots of flexing. Cracks form on the bottom and debris comes off inside over time(thus fouling the TPS downstream). Remove inspect carefully, If it is hooped you can fab one up yourself with PVC and some clamps and Aluminium Dryer Ducting. With the proper alignment and bigger airways you will boost your performance. The TPS can be cleaned with Carb Cleaner, replace the air filter and then test with a Vacuum Pressure Gauge install in line, directly off a Intake Manifold Vacuum port.

Try that and get back to me? I'll be around...
