Problem overview

Some Acura TL owners report experiencing starting issues after replacing the fuel pump, computer, and sensors, with the vehicle cranking but not starting. Common problems include faulty battery cables that can prevent the car from starting, as well as insufficient voltage, with the vehicle needing to receive the required 12 volts to initiate startup. Additionally, some owners find that a malfunctioning fuel pump can lead to starting failures, necessitating a professional diagnosis. Issues with the MAP sensor may also arise, as a non-functioning sensor can fail to trigger the PCM to activate the fuel pump. Furthermore, overheated or burnt-out coils can complicate the starting process, requiring replacement. It is crucial for owners to systematically troubleshoot these components and seek professional assistance if the problem persists.
