#706 of 788 security system nightnare!!! by mailmanrick Sep 08, 2007 (8:27 pm)
Somebody HELP ME!!! I have a 1989 Acura Legend I bought for $500.00. So far my only big problem is that the guy lost the original keys with the keyless entry. Nobody and I mean nobody but the dealer can get me another one but for a hefty price. Does anybody have or know the posible FCC# on the remote so that I can try that way on line via Ebay? If not does anyone know how to bypass the immobilizer (kill switch), if I don't stick the key in the ignition or open the door fast enough the car automatically activtes the kill switch and the car won't start for at least 20-30 minutes after that it works beautifully. Like all of the discussions I read prior to this message I too love my car and with gas prices the way they are I'd be a fool it get rid of a sweet ride!! Hope for a miracle.
#707 of 788 overheating but with a gas smell too by ksclkr Sep 15, 2007 (8:46 am)
I have read the posts about overheating. Have 95 Legend with month old new timing belt & water pump and am 90Km or so. Last night after driving awhile had strong gas smell and then temp guage rose to top of red and then dropped back down again few secs later. Drove some more and it repeated to hot and back down. Second time did not have gas smell. Tank was filled earlier in day & had just turned a corner when smell first noticed. Are these related??? Since timing belt installed engine seems to be louder too. A symptom? a PS: Just drove it around the block: heater is blowing cold, and it revs strongly in idle. What are these signs of?? I am not savvy to know what I am looking at under the hood and so I would appreciate so input before I call the mechanic. Could the new water pump work be bad causing this new problem? Thanks.
#708 of 788 I think Head Gasket! by cris10 Oct 05, 2007 (6:09 pm)
Hello I have a 91 Acura Legend w/155 miles. The other day I went to start my car to go to work and it was making a funny sound and shaking as I was putting it into gears. Then I notice radiator fluid coming out my tail pipes. I am confuse on what might be wrong and ppl are telling me two different things. (blown engine or head gasket)! I just put a new radiator in my car in July and a VSS. Please tell me not my engine. I love my car!                                    Cristen
#709 of 788 1990 Acura Lengend stalling. by mshellmc Oct 15, 2007 (10:31 pm)
We have a 1990 Acura Legend with 125K on it. We are the original owners and it has been a great car. However, it has started stalling. Took some friends on a drive to Mt. St. Helens about 80 miles roundtrip. The car ran fine, but then when I had to slow down and stop for a pedestrian, the car just died. It started up fine, but when I pulled into the driveway the car died again. It started up fine again. Anybody have a clue what the problem might be? Thanks.

Replying to: bmwboy (Nov 15, 2007 6:34 pm) The LS and GS models in 1993 on had the 230 hp Type II engine. Replies to this message: akuma (Nov 17, 2007 11:23 pm)

Replying to: acural (Nov 16, 2007 9:41 pm) actually, as far as sedans are concerned, only the GS models, which debuted in '94, have the 230 hp Type II engine. however, all coupes after 1993 have the Type II engine.
#713 of 788 Re: 94 gs [andmoon] by acural Nov 24, 2007 (8:39 pm)
Replying to: andmoon (Mar 16, 2004 6:53 am) Yes, you should ALWAYS replace the Water Pump along with a Timing Belft, usually at 90K miles. I did mine 89K just to be safe. Much to my surprise, the mechanioc said the belt was in very good shape, likely because I don't drive the car real hard. The benefit of also doig teh WP at same time is 1) the engine is alreay half tore down anyway, 2) the WP itself isn't an expensive part and 3) the TB can snap if the WP seizes up, which also usually leads to bent valves and much more expense.
#714 of 788 92 acura lerend - cold weather engine races in idle by patt1 Dec 11, 2007 (8:00 pm)
Last year this time, when the weather became colder, my engine started racing in idle. After a while it started doing the same thing in drive. I took the car in for servicing and the mechanic said I just needed fluid in the radiator. Everything was fine until now. The car started racing intermittently while in nutural. I took it by the mechanic, but he is nolonger there. The new mechanic said I had enough fluid in the radiator, but he proceeded to put some in the overflow. All was fine for 2 days. Now it is racing and boiling over, out of the radiator. The temp control dial in the car is normal. Do I need to put a special mixture of the fluid in the radiator?   Please make a recommendation as to what I must do.
#715 of 788 1994 Acura Legend by rw3535 Dec 19, 2007 (11:43 am)
I have a 1994 Acure Legend L and recently the taillight on the passenger side quit working, but it still lights up when I hit the brake. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be or how to fix it? Also, my entire gauge lighting has gone out. Replies to this message: heknwevrythang (Dec 30, 2007 4:10 pm)
