Some Acura ILX owners report experiencing issues related to voltage irregularities that can illuminate the engine light, often caused by a weak battery, corrosion on battery terminals, or a bad ground connection. These problems may lead to flickering dashboard lights and difficulty in cranking the engine, even if the battery shows over 12.4 volts. Additionally, voltage irregularities can trigger the check engine light, indicating potential issues with the emissions system, sensors, or the catalytic converter. A faulty oxygen sensor is frequently cited as a cause, leading to symptoms such as decreased fuel mileage and engine misfiring. Owners may also notice irregular engine running or misfires during acceleration, which can indicate problems with the ignition cylinder or exhaust gas oxygen sensor. To resolve these issues, thorough diagnostics may be necessary to address battery-related problems, ground connections, or sensor malfunctions, emphasizing the importance of prompt resolution to maintain optimal performance of the Acura ILX.
