Replying to: biker4 (Aug 03, 2008 5:20 am) Is this really a characteristic of the '09 TSX? Will the rattle eventually go away as I keep putting premium gas in? If this is truly a characteristic of the car I'm wondering why other people are posting... |

turn up the stereo... you have 400 watts of power there... =o) all kidding aside, i'm not sure why you would put 87 octane in a car that has an 11:1 (10.5?) compression ratio... yes, you can probably get away with it, but it's also a good way for the dealership to void your warranty IMO. it's ~$3 per tank difference (  20mpg, that's $.01 per mile difference), and while the engine management MAY be able to compensate for most of the problems, there is no way for your ECU to adjust the compression ratio of the motor. I guess for some people it's worth saving maybe $150 a year in gas(at one tank per week) on a 30k car.

| So I bought a used 2004 tsx a few weeks ago...didn't notice anything particularly wrong with it, until I took it to the car wash yesterday. The wiring that hooks into the center rearview mirror came loose and now my instrument panel, windows and turn signals do not work. It looks as though it could be as simple as figuring out with of the three sections of wiring goes to what plug, but that's the whole issue. I can't tell what section of wiring goes where. For all I know it might also be something that the previous owner messed up. If anyone could possibly help me, it would be very appreciated! I'm taking the car to the mechanic later but just figured i'd ask around first so I could avoid the trip. Thanks a lot for any help that can be given! | |

Hi, I own a 2004 tsx and I've been experiencing a very odd problem. This first occured maybe about 1 month ago....I was driving down the road and kept noticing a flash in the corner of my eye...I didn't notice anything really and assumed it was the sun rays reflecting off the dash... This event kept repeating itself until one day I looked and DID notice something: my dash board lights were completetly shut off!! The odd thing is that my music was still playing.. When I mean dash board I mean the whole center console that contains : Clock (very top), radio and temperature adjustments. everything just...shut off. I tried adjusting my contrast but it was already at MAX and my driver-side dashboard was still on. (guages) I also tried turning off my car and back on...nothing. The light eventually came back on but ever since this has been happening...it shuts off, then comes back on...sometimes it last 10 seconds, sometimes up to 10 minutes... I have studied it and found no relation between this problem and...the temperature in the car,or bumps on the road, or the time I had been driving the car for...not relation what so ever. It just happens at random times. Can anyone help??? I'm afraid this one of those problems that will cost me an arm and leg because no one will know what it is and the dealership will spend hours trying to figure out and charge me for it! Help?
