Problem overview

Some Acura RL owners report experiencing recurring trouble starting their vehicle and engine stalling issues due to various factors. These issues may stem from fuel system problems, such as bad gas or water in the gas tank, which can lead to engine stalling. Additionally, problems with the air intake system, including a faulty MAF sensor that sends erroneous signals, can trigger the check engine light and contribute to stalling. Ignition system failures, particularly with the fuel pump relay, are also cited as potential causes of engine stalling. Furthermore, a faulty battery is often reported as a common reason for starting difficulties, as it may be dead or insufficiently powerful. Owners experiencing these issues are advised to seek professional diagnosis to identify and resolve the underlying causes, as regular maintenance and timely repairs can help prevent these problems from recurring.
