Warning To All Acura Users That May Want To Consider Washing Their Engine by Kelvin30286063(m): 10:38am On Jan 06, 2021
Yesterday I decided to give my car a full wash. I went to a standard car wash and instructed them to wash my car and engine area. The engine area has been extremely dirty for a while due to the dust and all.

From using Hondas for many years, I know there are some areas that needs covering or your car won't start until it dries up. So I instructed them to cover my alternator and some other sensors.
Being a standard car wash, they know everything that should be covered so they got a silicon wrap and covered the important stuffs.

I left and came back later. Only to start my car and discover the biggest shock of my life.
Dashboard says 'Check transmission', and Engine light is on!

At first I was like, maybe some other sensors are still wet. I'll wait till tomorrow.

Then this morning. Everything is all dried up but the engine light remains on, the check transmission warning is still there.

I decided to reset my gear using the 35 sec method and take my car for a spin just to check the gear. Drove on a free road for 20 minutes and noticed that the gears shift fine at drive but when I switch to sport mode, it doesn't work. Also my pedal shifter doesn't work anymore.

At this point, I have decided to go for a scan to know which sensor is messing up. And Acura being Acura, it will cost me a fortune to change the sensor.

So this is an advice for all Acura Users out there. Please don't wash your engine unless you're sure where the gear sensor is and make sure you cover it thoroughly. Lessons learnt. We move!

Coming from same person who installed Honda civic shocks in his acura, I'm sure the car had been vandalized and alot of fixes done shoddy in the past. It's only a coincidence that the palava came up immediately after car wash.

After noticing your obsession with me for the past few months, I have come to the conclusion that you're not just doing it for fun. You're probably gay and you are in love with me. Too bad for you cuz I'm not gay.

May thunder fire you there. Only a gay knows and refers to another as a gay.
Never refer to me as a gay ever. I am not one and I don't have any relationship with any of such folks.

Making money and foolishly using Honda civic shocks to mount on Acura TL. You lack sense. Talking about gay gay homofaggotgay like you.


I leave you to your ignorance and silly gay lifestyle.

This is my last response to you.

Kelvin30286063, oya both of you should kiss and make up kiss

Kelvin30286063, the water jet may have disconnected a sensor or cable for your transmission. Find the cable and reconnect it, that's the best case scenario.

Gazzuz said my car is okay. I was only overreacting. It wasn't that hot.

I don't see the purpose of washing a car's engine bay, except it's to be put for sale. Not just Acura, any car. I don't just see the benefit. If you have to, use a rag to clean specific sections of the engine bay, but not the water jet used by car wash
