Check Engine Light

You will need to get a diagnosis on your vehicle by a qualified mechanic. To me, it sounds like a fuel control issue (oxygen sensor, etc). Not entirely sure, the diagnosis will tell you everything you need to know. Good luck. Here are some shops near you... http://repairpal.com/acura-repair-in-charlotte-north-carolina

Disconnecting the battery won't clear the trouble codes or fix anything. If the light's on, it's indicating that the computer detects a fault in the sensors and control systems. It should have data and trouble codes stored in the computer and you need a scanner to access that information. Then you can fix the car. With that mileage, the first thing I suspect are oxygen sensor or catalytic converter problems which you may not notice driving the car.
