I had the lights fixed. Mechanic added new grounds to the lights that weren't working. He said that was much less expensive than tracking down the problem in the harness. He didn't know what could have caused the problem. Your explaination of a possiible harness recall sounds around right. If I have any more problems withi it, I'll go to the dealer. Now, I'm working on improving the MPG. Changed air filter. Changed spark plugs. When I took out the old plugs, I saw the prior owner had Spit Fire plugs insattled, which I replaced with NGK(somewhat pricy compared to plugs I've bought for other cars). Car chimmys a little above 55, I will have the wheels balanced, alignment seems OK. Otherwise, car drives good... Next, the radio. I think some of the radio installers I've called with my idea wanted to refer me to a shrink, with my idea of adding my Kenwood excelon as a second radio.

#7 of 8 Lossing acceleration when light comes on by reggiebushfan

ok so sometime when im out driving my 04 Acura tsx the engine light will come on as well as my ASE light. the car will start to drive sort of sluggish and when i come to a complete stop and start to accelerate again it will take awhile for the car to gain its speed.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? and is it safe to continue to drive the car?

I,m certainly no epert, but that sounds like some type of spark problem.. As a follow up to my post above, after noticing shaking at accelleration I had to replace two front axles, but now the car drives perfect. Might need an alignment though. And, I installed my secod radio, and both work, one at a time. That was my solution to geting my serius in the car...
