Other Fuel System Pump problem #1

- the contact owns a 2000 Acura Rl. While driving 20 mph the vehicle stalled without warning and would not restart. The failure mileage was 80,000. The vehicle was towed to a local repair shop. The vehicle stalled once before, but the vehicle restarted. The vehicle had not been diagnosed at this time.

Other Fuel System problem #2

While stopped in traffic, upon acceleration. Engine stalled. Vehicle placed in park and car was restarted and driven away. Main fuel relay was replaced. Per Acura service bulletin 01-044, the incident that occurred could be due to a failed powertrain control module. Per Acura service bulletin 01-044, there was an updated powertrain control module, but this part has since been discontinued and is no longer being produced by Acura. I have called Acura customer service who stated that even though they are aware of the circumstances per technical service bulletin 01-044, there is nothing they are able to do to repair the car. I feel that this is a safety related issue due to the risk that the vehicle has the potential to continue to stall and cannot be repaired.
