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.
At a red light stopped. When light turned green I pressed accelerator to go and it just stalled with the engine revving up. Finally it started moving forward slowly.
I am having difficulties with my ignition switch not working at times. When I attempt to start my vehicle after turning the key in the ignition, it won't start. When I take the key out of the ignition and place it back in about the third or fourth time to try and start it, it eventually starts. I just recently replaced my starter and battery thinking this was the problem, but it is not. Please help!.
