r/AcuraTSX

I’m putting everything back together. Is this normal? It’s a new guide and Bolt is tightened down already. Tensioner released

These bumper leds never last more than 2 months for me. Anyone got sauce?

Got my TL totaled a couple weeks ago right as I finished it. Figured the next best thing was a TSX, and bonus a spec kit/waffles!

Got some hate on the last post but I like the look, just a little update on the build so far fellas

For starters, I drive a 2009 Acura TSX, 157,000 miles, lived in California its whole life and I’ve consistently done maintenance.

Anyways I’m driving home from work, same thing I do 5 days a week, going 70 ish on the highway when my dashboard lights up like a Christmas tree, I got hit with a ‘check braking system’ ‘check abs system’ ‘check vsa system’ I of course panicked and pulled over. I alway keep a scanner in my car, and it gave me every dctm code for my abs module, saying I have low battery voltage and high battery voltage along with a multitude of other codes.

I decide to erase the codes and turn off and on my car. To my surprise when turning my car back on and proceeding to drive home with my hazards on the codes never came back. Later of last night I turn on my car to check whether of not they come back. I drive maybe 10 feet and the whole dash board lights up again. I pull over turn off and back on my car theyre gone and I record the video attached.

Does anyone know what it could possible be before I take it to a mechanic as I’m a very diy guy but this is outside my knowledge. Anything helps, thank you!!

New TSX owner here. Any recommendations on a good starter? 2009 TSX. Starter just gave out on me today. Thanks in advance.

Finally satisfied with the build. Still needs a paint job and a hood but I’m content with it right now. 04 6spd with 280k body miles and somewhere around 50k miles on the engine and trans. Such a beautiful and fun car. Thank you Honda Acura

Had this happen about 6 months ago had to get a jumpstart by a friend and drove it to autozone to get a new battery ( I thought it was the battery but had doubt because I bought the battery not even a year in). Drove to autozone got it swapped under warranty and scanned for the starter and stuff to see if it was that as well. Guy says its starting fine it could be one of those ghost issue that occur for no reason and never come back. Sure enough it came back, anyone know what could be the issue?

Payed almost 3k for it with 179k miles did I got scam? check engine with catalytic system threshold, some minor cosmetics everything works prob will need to fix some minor stuff, engine and transmission working good

Hey I've had this noise for a couples of months im not sure what it could be or where it could be coming from. it seems the sound plays through the speakers but even when I have the volume turned off it still makes the sound and sometimes pick up when i accelerate. Other times it get really loud and then gets quiet. I've no clue what it is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone know what this knocking/ticking is? Happens mostly on cold start and gets quieter after driving. I don’t hear it when revving. 2011 Acura TSX (~114k miles), no codes, power feels normal. Sounds like passenger side. I got it a couple weeks ago and it did not have the clunking sound.

I was looking into changing my rear upper control arm and rear strut assembly. Has anyone ever changed the bushing that the lower bolt for the strut connects to?

How difficult is it to change that bushing? Do I need any special tools to press in the new one?

Does anybody know the part number for the oem or a moog/ mevotech bushing? I couldn’t find it on rockauto

Plz any tips for approaching this job I’ve never done it before

I’m torn between which color to get, I just don’t want to regret the decision 2 weeks after they arrive. I’m leaning away from white because i don’t want it to be too flashy. My wheels right now are black and I’m thinking about changing it up but they look super clean at the same time. Bronze looks clean, buts it’s also the one i’m most nervous about, and gunmetal grey seems mature and oem+, but i don’t know if that takes the life out of the car.

I can’t figure out where the hell to plug this thing back in
