2009 Acura TSX Fuel Injector Replacement (Vivration on D and N Issue)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 бер 2020
- This procedure is the same for all second gen TSX Acuras from 2009 through 2014 and some similar year Honda Accords. This vehicle is known as the Euro Accord in Europe.
My TSX is having a lot of vibration issues while on D ad R and they seem to be less severe when going on N and P. When the AC is off then the vibration is more consistent but once the AC kicks the compressor on and off, the vibration intensity fluctuates. Here is a list of all the things I have tried:
-Replace Air Intake Filter
-Replace Spark Plugs
-Replace Ignition Coils
-Clean Throttle Body
-Clean MAF sensor
-Replaced VC Joints
-Drain and fill transmission fluid (2 times willingly and a 3rd time due to CV seals breaking)
-Replaced All 3 engine mounts, two front and the transmission mount
Could it be a weak battery or alternator? Battery tested 100% health and alternator passed OK test.
Could it be a worn Torque Converter? No transmission fluid changes had been performed until I bought it at 118k miles.
Could it be a worn engine? I am going to perform a compression test soon and find out.
I could not find any video tutorials of this online so here I am. For anyone that has no clue how to do it, you can use this as a guideline. Needless to say be smart and do not come crying in the comments if you mess it up. Total time was approximately 30 minutes of work. If you know what you are doing it would not take more than 10-15 minutes.
This should be the same for similar year Honda Accords. I suspect so because they use the same part. Anyway I am thinking of putting the old ones back in since the tip seems to be identically clean.
Thanks for watching!

Thank you for the video.
You should try fist
•cleaning your throttle body
•Replace the engine air filter if needed
•Compression test
•spark plugs if needed
and then engine mounts.
Good luck.
Please update, when you find the solution to your TSX problem.
Smart!!
Awesome video!
Gracias amigo
Where did you get your socket and Rachet set you used?
If you’re getting vibrations, change the motor mounts as well
I have 19" HFP wheels on a 2012 tsx and I have a vibration at highway speeds. I gave the wheels to a shop and they found 2 bent rims and are fixing those. I suspected I had at least 1 bent rim.
I also suspected one rim would be broken but I didn't want to invest on that. Turns out that the shoppe that put the axles on my car put crappy ones. 2 months ago I took it to a car shop and they confirmed at least about 500$ worth of repairs to start fixing things that are obviously broken. I traded it in and bought a 2020 accord lol
Crankshaft position sensor? That giving improper readings causes bad air fuel mixture ratio. Easy change.
Remember to disconnect the car battery first for your safety when you are removing the fuel line, flammable gasoline and spark can have a bad ending
Hey Healthy, I have an Acura TSX 09. Same as the model in the video. But I have a slight issue.
I have two codes set off. P0171 and P0420. One being “System Too Lean” and the other code is for a “Catalyst Converter Threshold Bank 1. So therefore one is leading to the other. In anyone’s experience with these cars ... what would you recommend..? Buying a whole new catalytic converter? I live in Nevada. No one could give me a reasonable answer.
The two codes are not related.
For the first one www.fixdapp.com/blog/p0171-honda/
This might help. Start with the easy fixes and work your way up.
For the catalytic converter one, only worry about it if your state has emissions testing, or if you care about the environment. It won't affect your car in any other way
My newest vehicle, a 2011 acura tsx wagon's fuel rail won't even budge, even with a pry bar. And this car came from Florida. Seemed like almost no struggle for you to pull off the fuel rail. I must have missed a nut or bolt. That SOB rail was not pulling out. Grrrr...
Go to home depot and get a 3 or so foot pvc pipe and use it as leverage. It's saved me hours of struggle in a lot of places
im having the same issue with my 2010 TSX. I have a check engine light on tho. Turned out to be my spark plugs and coils. my spark plugs were NGK as well maybe I had a bad batch.
Did you resolve the issue?
@@HealthyCriticism yes it did no more misfires and check engine light. i bought my car used at 80k miles. Ive done a tune-up on it before but never changed to coils.
@@earvinmagic1282 yeah at least yours was misfiring and you had somewhat of a guideline with a check engine code. My issue has no codes sadly
Hey Healthy, I have the same issue with my 2010.....Ive just did a tune up with new denso sparkplugs, engine air filter, 3x3 transmission change (I changed at 60k , 90k, now at 130k), coolant change, transmission filter, cleaned throttle body, (didn't clean maf as honda ones don't clean well/do anything), brake fluid, replace faulty VTC actuator......Used all acura parts... Still no change on my side either.
Thank you for that response! Do you burn oil?
@@HealthyCriticism Yeah....since about 90k... im around 130k now and I burn half quart every 2500k.....I change every 5000k with pennzoil platinum regardless...since day 1.
@@David..... then I'd suggest a compression test to see how worn the engine is. We're in the same boat here.
@@HealthyCriticism Compression is fine....all honda engine start to burn oil over 100k....(its not that big a deal, no tail pipe smoke, no excessive carbon when engine was pulled apart)...I add a half quart at 2500 miles and do a oil change at 5k....
I know that syntheic oil can last 25k miles or more....its the oil filter that I dont trust....oil filter tech been the same for the last 80years....nothing much better has come along besides paper filters.
And if im going to the trouble of putting my car on a lift to change the filter, im changing the oil too.....besides I did the math and the low cost of oil vs mileage reduction due to friction is about a savings of $5...
Oh, one thing about the idle vibration....it was more noticeble for me in the winter than the summer at the beginning....three years later, it happens with the same severity at all temps....
@@David..... yeah I burn about 1qt every 3000 miles and I just add some more until I change it at around 4k. At this point I'm learning to live with everything that's wrong about the car because overall it's in decent shape still. Waiting till the TLX type s hits the market to upgrade
A family mechanic said the transmission is probably also wearing out since it hesitates between hear shifts and clanks when I switch from park to reverse and back to drive when it's cold primarily
I was about to tell ya about mounts and etc, but seems like you've already went over so much repairs! Problem is the torque converter and probably other components in the transmission. Hondas around these years are known for their sh*tty trans
My 09 has the same vibration issue on drive when waiting at the lights. RIP tho gg for the accord
Yeah sometimes you gotta bite the bullet and say enough is enough. This accord is unexpectedly fast have you seen what it can do?
maybe the transmission mounts? I'm having the same problems with my tsx on D and R. so i assumed it was transmission mounts there's 3 of them. on my 04 model still haven't done something about it though
I believe in the description I mention that I replaced all mounts both for engine and transmission but the issue was still there
Hey did you solve the vibration problem in your acura and can you us let it know if you fixed or what was the problem cause I have the same car with the same problem please let us know...
My mechanic is self isolating so I haven't been able to do a compression test yet. I have not found out what the issue is yet but once I do I will definitely update the video description and submit a comment as well
Healthy Criticism hey thank you amigo we’ll appreciate that please
Also, I forgot to mention to please put the old fuel injectors back if the ones you install aren't the original equipment. Clean the old ones and reinstall them. I recomend you to do so because if they are not the original injectors you may run into problem due to the poor manufacture quality of the "new injectors".
The only thing I have not done yet is a compression test and that will be my next step. I will be updating the description of the video with a list of all the things I have attempted. Thank you for the input!
So is not point to buy new ones just clean them ?
Probably need to replace the knock sensor as well. By the way , did you depressurize the fuel line before replacing the fuel injectors?
No, I didn't notice any difference before and after. I ended up reinstalling the old injectors and returning the new ones for a refund
@@HealthyCriticism So you didn't depressurize the fuel line before your swap?
@@viewlesswind correct, I did not
Did you have long cranks? Before starting her up
No crank times were very normal, started up right away 100% of the time
Have a problem with my automatic tsx which shakes and vibrates when revving 40mph-50mph. Maybe transmission problem?
Try new tyres and an alignment
@@HealthyCriticism sounds like its coming from the motor or trans. Does that when it about to change gears and jerks
@@petervang5384 if it shudders when it's shifting gears it's probably slipping. In that case you probably need new clutches on the gears that are slipping. I'd probably baby the car and run it till it breaks. You can also try trading it in and hope the dealer doesn't actually drive it which they usually don't. I was able to get 4500 for mine when I traded it in last year, but this year the used market is stupid expensive so get a quote
I have a 2011 Acura TSX and I got cheap spark plugs and started vibrating and the spark plugs I got the lazer iridium and it stopped.
I bought iridium NGK spark plugs
We’re did you get them
@@joshrivera2109 autozone. I read that you gotta get them from a chain to avoid getting counterfeit ones from Amazon and the lot
Did you smell gas before the issue started?
No gas smell whatsoever
Hey did u find out the issue with vibration? Try changing your cat or delete. Resolved my issue
I never managed to solve the issue sadly I ended up selling the car
@3:08 - “almost 149k”
@ 5:34 - “approximately 218k” 🤔
Vibration is related to engine mounts, I have the same issue, vibration in D, and AC, as soon as you go to N, and turn off the AC it goes off, I saw a lot of post about this, check this ua-cam.com/video/qrOUqUMTZko/v-deo.html
I replaced all 3 mounts and the vibration was exactly the same
@@HealthyCriticism speaking to Honda specialist the vibration is normal on this model, and yes replacing the mounts won’t change anything glad I haven’t changed them thanks a lot
Lol idk what everyone is saying, you needed a harmonic balancer about 2 years ago
It will forever remain a mystery
