To maximize the potential power of an Acura engine, four things must be considered — proper amount of fuel, enough air, a good spark, and a free-flowing exhaust. After considering these facets, owners may want to look deeper into their parts to understand the system. For instance, Acura’s spark plugs contain Acura Spark Plug Wires that transport electric voltage needed for a spark.

Acura Spark Plug Wires are connected to the distributor — which multiplies the sparks — and then transports sparks to the plugs, which in turn, deliver the necessary spark needed for the combustion process. With this function, the Acura Spark Plug Wires prove that they are, collectively, an important complement of Acura’s electrical system. It is not surprising that Acura’s impeccable attention to detail led to the production of highly dependable parts, as small and as simple as the Acura spark plug wire system.

However, just like any other car parts, Acura Spark Plug Wires are not immune to wearing out and breakage after a certain period of time and considerable mileage. For one, spark plug wires have to endure extreme heat and dangerous chemicals contained in the engine compartment. In time, these dangerous elements would eventually take its toll on the spark plug wires and they could thus lose their ability to transport electricity.

Ideally, the Acura spark plug wires should be replaced yearly and/or during engine tuneup. Doing so saves owners a lot of dollars from having to replace the entire spark plug system when faulty wires lead to the whole system’s breakdown. Extra caution should be taken, though, when replacing Acura Spark Plug Wires, since the vehicles have different electrical requirements. Complying to this recommendations ensures dependable Acura engine startup and performance.

I am looking at either buying a used Cadillac CTS with no more than 39k miles on it. The prices are in my range about 16-25k depending on what kind of deal the dealer made originally. I figure a cadi will be reliable and I can get a warranty extended. I would probably put down 4k. But I also am looking at possible leasing one of the new Acura TL, or the Infiniti g37. Does anyone have any good advice?

The Acura MDX chrome key chain with a spinning ACURA in the center is sure to start a conversation about cars every time someone has a glance at it. It is solidly engineered, just like the car, with a lifetime warranty. The Acura MDX definitely deserves to be the center of all conversation. Honda’s Acura MDX has surged ahead of the pack with its powerful luxury SUV. It is a beauty packed with the works.

A fancy Acura MDX key chain with wrench and 4 Acura logo valve stem covers that has a life time warranty. This is a perfect gift for the lucky owner of the Acura MDX. Just imagine the happy smile when you see the key chain wrench. Then, you give a whoop of delight as you realize that each valve stem cover has a tiny Acura logo on it.

Key chains are the new collectibles that are a hobby or more of a passion for many collectors. Acura key chains are affordable, useful and may soon be as valuable as model toys today. Occasionally, you will see a collection of key chains for sale on the online auction sites. This goes to show the growing popularity of key chains as a collectors item.

The new owner of an Acura MDX would love the key chain accessory as one more way to get a conversation going, and no wonder. This SUV is billed by Car and Driver Magazine as a ‘road going athlete’, more sports car than a tall SUV, but comfortable, quiet, and powerful, accelerating rapidly and stopping from 60 mph to O in 121 feet, thanks to disc brakes and optional sports suspension.

In just two decades, Acura has gone from the first Japanese luxury car to being the leader of the SUV pack. The Acura’s debut in 1986 climaxed a decade of research and development with the production of an entirely new line of automobiles. Luxury is also represented by the elegant black and silver Acura MDX key chain. It has a black background with raised silver ‘Acura’ with space on the back side of the key chain for your own special engraved message. You could have your name, a special date or a message engraved on it which would make it a truly valuable possession you would treasure for life.

Acura realizes that not every person is able to enter and exit the vehicle easily. So they include up to $1,000 of the cost of aftermarket adaptive equipment, so the drivers and passengers with disabilities will be able to enjoy this exciting car. This is just one of the many ways Acura makes sure they stay oriented to the needs of their customers.

In the same vein, staying oriented to the needs of their customers, Acura offers beautiful chrome finished steel pull away keychain. The car key can be on one end and all other keys to home and business on the other. The Acura MDX keychain is one that holds the key to your happiness and a great time ahead.

I have a 1995 Acura Integra, with an automatic transmission. Two days ago I went to get into the car and the shift lock was on, and my brake lights won’t work. I’ve already replaced the fuse, and that hasn’t fixed the problem. Other than going into a mechanic and getting the solanoid replaced, what else could be the problem? Could one brake light going out cause the whole issue? Should I try replacing the brake light bulbs?

Driving quality is very important to all motorists. To reach an excellent driving performance, focus is put not just on the engine and the brakes, but the clutch as well. Owner of vehicles with manual transmission realize the importance of taking good care of the clutch. Car makers today, much like Honda’s luxury arm Acura, allocate significant amount of effort on the vehicle’s clutch.

An important component of an Acura’s clutch is the Acura Clutch Disc – a steel plate, covered with a frictional material placed between the flywheel and pressure plate. At the center of the disc is a hub, designed to fit over the spines of the transmission’s input shaft. A typical Acura clutch disc controls the power flow between the engine and the transmission, along with the pressure plate and the flywheel. Clutch discs are made of asbestos, the same material used in brake shoes and pads to achieve friction.

When a clutch pedal is de-pressed, the throw-out bearing moves toward the flywheel. During this process, the bearing pushes the pressure plate’s release fingers and moves them against the pressure plate spring force. This action diverts the pressure plate away from the clutch disc. As a result, power flow is interrupted.

Clutch discs are relatively durable compared with other automotive components. However, they are still prone to wear and tear. A common problem is a spend frictional material, which results to weak power transmission, and ultimately, poor driving performance. Other signs to to watch for are a clutch that engages and disengages close to the floorboard and/or transmission grind when shifting. When one experiences clutch chatter or jerking, a replacement is immediately needed.

I have an 03 Acura CL. The digital clock on the dash usually illuminates the time when I have my headlights turned on. However I believe the light bulb behind the unit has died I called Acura service and the cost to replace the bulb plus the labor was a ridiculous amount. Does anyone know how I can change out the bulb myself? Apparently the whole dash has to come off to repair one bulb. Please help!

The American magazine Consumer Reports recently reported that the Acura MDX and the Lexus RX350 were given more points compared to Cadillac, BMW, or Lincoln SUVs. The report came after tests have been conducted on the SUVs which will be part of the Consumer Reports July issue.

The tests conducted by Consumer Reports include 18 midsize SUVs according to the publication. Of these 18 vehicles, the Lexus RX350 ranked third while the Acura MDX ranked fourth.

Ranking first is the Toyota Highlander Hybrid while the Lexus RX400h ranked second. The RX400h and the Lexus RX350 shares a common platform. The only difference between them is the powertrain since the hybrid RX400h uses an electric motor so as to provide additional power to its engine.

Of the eighteen midsized SUVs tested by Consumer Reports, five of them are luxury SUVs. Aside from the RX350 and the MDX, the three other luxury SUVs tested by Consumer Reports are the Cadillac SRX, the BMW X5 and the Lincoln MKX. The SRX, X5 and the MKX all received an overall “Very Good” rating but failed to outrank the RX350 and the MDX. The SRX finished somewhere in the middle of the list while the X5 and the MKX were at the bottom of the list.

The RX350 and the MDX both finished with 80 points each but due to other characteristic differences like the handling ability and fuel economy, the Lexus SUV was ranked higher than the Acura. The RX carries five passengers and is known for its luxurious interior. Its engine is the most fuel efficient of the five luxury SUVs even without the help of aftermarket parts like the Exedy clutch or the Exedy flywheel. The RX also has the quickest acceleration among the tested luxury SUVs.

The RX’s new engine is a 3.5-liter V6 engine which is capable of producing 270 horsepower. The fuel efficiency of the said engine resulted to a gas mileage rating of 19 mpg as according to Consumer Reports after the RX underwent their own fuel economy tests.

The MDX on the other hand can seat up to seven passengers - two more than the RX’s capacity. It also has a luxurious interior. Another characteristic which puts the MDX near the top spot is its better handling as compared to the RX and the other luxury SUVs. Its engine is also reported to be sportier than that of the Lexus. Its suspension setting complements the powertrain giving the MDX good riding comfort.

The SRX, while able to attain a “Very Good” overall rating, is not being recommended by Consumer Reports due to the questionable reliability of past models of the SRX. The X5 and the MKX, on the other hand, are relatively new to the market so Consumer Reports have limited data so as to their reliability. The publication only recommends vehicles which have performed well on their tests and those which have been proven to be reliable. Reliability is based on the company’s Annual Car Reliability Survey of CR’s subscribers. The recommended vehicles should also receive good safety ratings.
