Besides oil change, I'm thinking of bringing it back to a dealership and getting a maintenance done. Lately the car's been having issues at idle, sometimes just drops to the point where the car shakes but it could be me and the gas pedal too sometimes during rush hour I tap the gas because I only need to go forward a few metres.

What should I get them to check?

Valves?
MAF?

I have no idea, any input will be helpful!

 

rear diff fluid changed

 

Idle problem sounds like a MAP sensor problem.. Pretty common, a search should reveal tons of info and home-remedies for it.

 

don't tap the gas like that. When the revs fall after, the antistall might not catch it quick enough and you get that very low rpm shake and sometimes a stall.

There isn't anything wrong with the car, adjust your clutch and gas work.

 

That was done about 5,000KM ago, along with the transmission fluid. Made a HUGE difference!

 

Alright, will do! Just sometimes durring rush hour you think the car in front of you is about to go but slams on his brake a second later. Thanks for the advice!

So is there anything I should check in particular? Should get them to check my valves or should I wait until 100,000KM if I keep the car that long?

 

Change the diff fluid again in another 5,000 KM or so.

When was the last time you did new clutch and brake fluid?

Valve adjustment? (I had one done at 20,000 KM and it made a huge difference)

 

Frickin' sweet. Good to hear that I made a difference... I always used to adjust the valves on my Type R every 10,000!!!

 

The guy that bought my car works up there at West Side Acura... and he's a technician, so hopefully he'll continue taking good care of it.

 

ex tech... now a salesman..
but still gonna work on my car in the shop!
cheers!
