Problem overview

Some Acura TL owners report experiencing recurring trouble starting their vehicles and engine stalls, which may be attributed to various potential issues. These include problems with the fuel system, such as a faulty fuel pump or fuel injection relay, leading to difficulty starting the engine. Additionally, issues with the air intake system, particularly a malfunctioning Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, can trigger the check engine light and contribute to stalling. Failures in the ignition system, especially with the ignition switch, have also been reported to cause starting troubles and unexpected stalling episodes. Furthermore, some owners experience stalling or misfiring due to engine timing issues, often linked to Variable Valve Timing (VVT) problems. Lastly, a bad battery may result in hesitation when starting the engine, as it might not deliver sufficient voltage. It is advisable for owners facing these issues to diagnose and address the relevant systems to ensure the smooth operation of their Acura TL.
