Some Acura RL owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues potentially linked to sensor malfunctions. These problems may include ignition keys not being recognized due to issues with the immobilizer system. Additionally, electrical system problems, such as dead batteries or faulty connections, can contribute to starting difficulties. Some owners have noted that their engine clicks but does not start, which could stem from a faulty fuse or sensor problems. Reports of an intermittent code P16BE suggest a malfunction in the Starter Cut Relay, indicating possible sensor or relay issues. Furthermore, malfunctioning MAF or MAP sensors can disrupt the air-fuel mixture, complicating the starting process. Other potential causes include faulty starter motors and clogged fuel filters. It is essential for owners to consider these various factors to effectively diagnose and resolve the starting issues in their Acura RL.
