SOURCE: check engine light

ok, first to do ,replace the speed sensor this causes odometer not working,check and d4 lights on

SOURCE: RPM shot up to 4.5/5 while idling

I have a 2003 Acura TLS, bought new Oct 2002 currently with only 42600 KM (real low) My problem appears to be the same. I noticed specificly on warm days after 30 min driving, when coming to a stop, the idle was about 3500 RPM. Parked the car, turned it off. When starting up again, RPM stayed at 3200, also couldn't put into drive (possibly safety mechanism to prevent damage to transmission). After 30 min when cooled, was able to start again - OK.
I brought it to the dealer thinking possibly connected to FAULTY TRANSMISSION". There was a special extended warranty issued by ACURA >>> http://www.internetautoguide.com/auto-recalls/09-int/2003/acura/tl/index.html I believe it also includes 2002's. Your Dealer should check into it again.
My dealer, ACURA LAVAL (in Que, Canada) seemed to look at nothing else than the transmission. In fact, 2 days after not hearing from him, he told me that they had already ordered a NEW Transmission which is being put in as I write.

Hope this is helpful to any Owner/Dealer who reads this

SOURCE: 97 acura cl transmission reverse only

sounds like the trnsmission filter may be plugged or the ports in the tranny may have clutch debris in them, either way it doesn't sound good..

Replace idle contol sensor.

Your Idle speed control or ISC needs to be replaced. Check for vacuum leaks.
