'06 TSX here, changed the starter, power steering pump, a/c compressor, and even unplugged the bluetooth module last year cuz I thought it might be draining my battery. Turns out it was the starter causing it not to start. It's still unplugged by the way! Overall it's been a nice car that I've owed for 10 years with 182,000 miles currently.
Lmaoo I’ve chased many problems and just throwing parts at it kinda learned overtime try not to so much.. 😭
These are great cars if we treat them right!
@@RishMedia My AC Comp went out 5 years ago. I decided that since it's not my daily driver I would open the windows. The stock starter lasted me 14 yrs before I had to put in a rebuild. Having to take off the intake manifold was a pain in the ass. But I really don't know where else they could have put it with the engine design.
@@stuartdroberts1 goes to show oem parts last! The intake manifold isn’t as bad once you take it off once remove that bottom bracket it’s not needed and make it so much easier for any other time.
@@stuartdroberts1 I have RSX RBC I manifold and it easy access
where are you from lol
Spoke facts, I’ve replaced literally everything you mentioned on my 04 😂
Becoming a more common thing as these cars get older 😭
I just bought an 04 it got some problems with the battery (massive drain) so I tried some stuff but it didn’t work the Bluetooth didn’t either I just left it disconnected if some on ya know what it could be pls let me know id appreciate the help
Do u use premium fuel?
I’m literally fittin to replace this shit too- bro wtffff
A proud owner of 2005 TSX. Bought the one that was used as a dealership's test drive vehicle with 28 miles on it. Now, in 2024, it has 255K, so far had to replace a serpentine belt at 140K, engine coils at 170K, alternator at 243K. The very first that went out was the trunk button, then the passenger door actuator, then the driver door actuator (both for remote entry). That's basically it. Hoping with the proper care I'll get another 250K out this car. I also had a used 2006 TSX for my wife, it also had a passenger door actuator issues and a leaking steering actuator. I love this car so much, that I even bought my daughter a 2005 TSX as a first car, manufactured just a month after mine.
DANG! your an OG love to hear it sounds like they've treated you very well! thanks for leaving your experience
I like you.
i have a 2006 tsx but got it around 2014/2015 w/ 70ish thousand miles. lets just say ive experienced all the repairs or about all of them youve mentioned lol. this video hit right in the feels
literally replaced my alternator this past weekend too
Ayyeee thanks for popping by and leaving your experience!
I’ve definitely learned my lessons with my last Tsx chasing problems and all 😂
I love this video. I have an acura tsx 2006 that has 172k and still going strong... I can relate to this video with parts I had to change so far. Keep up the good work!
Alot of it is some common maintenance after so many miles. They are older cars so most have came to that point, but they’re solid when wanted to be lol.
Thanks for stopping in! 🙏🏻
I live in Massachusetts where the roads are salted regularly. One major issues that I have found is corrosion damage to the body and panels on the driver's side. If you live in a similar climate take your wheels and fender liners off and check for rust. Also check the pinch weld lift points, ESP. on the front driver's side. It's very common for the entire portion to completely rust out.
After a full desalinization I use POR 15 regularly. Your car can be mechanically sound but if the body starts to rot out from underneath you it's a losing battle in the long term.
Yeah I know all about that being in CT all my life lol shitty roads ontop of the massive amount of rust the dump around
'08 TSX owner here. Original owner, bought her in '08 sitting on the showroom floor. She's an auto though. Wish I could go back and rethink that. Unfortunately too, my girl has had a target on her since day one. Hit solid in the front end once, rear ended twice at stop lights, and really hard hit side T-Boned directly at the left front wheel just sitting in a parking lot. She's really suffered from other people hitting her but she's still soldiering on and fortunately with 85K on her now, she's been very dependable. I appreciate your channel. My goal is for her to out live me. So far, so good. A couple back in July offered me $12K cash for her. Their daughter was going off to college in August and needed a car. They saw her sitting at Kroger and when I came out of the store they were admiring her and asked if I'd consider selling her. Keep up the great work.
Damn dudeee theres not many OG tsx owners! Still a very solid car thats super unfortunate other peoples bs and driving habits put some hurt on her. Still super fresh and low mileage, just keep it thriving bro doing great!
Thank you for the support 🙏🏻
Definitely doing my shift cables and motor/trans mounts soon. But good info on the ball joints and intermediate shaft. Much love
Get them done, maintenance is important 🙌🏼
Thanks for the support!
2004 Tsx 290k hear 6sd running strong
Hell yeah that’s what I like to hear! 💪🏻

2006 Acura TSX 6 speed manual with 320k miles. Runs and drives great. Just bought it off the original owner. Needs rotors-pads all around and two rear wheel bearings. Hopefully once I start daily driving it I won't find many more problems.
Damn, it's been a minute since i watched this channel. last time i was on here there was a blue tsx 2 stepping. nice content!
Thanks for coming back to check out the channel again! 🙏🏻
I got a 04 tsx with over 300,000 miles only thing I had to replace are the common stuff like any car starter and alternator all new ac. Still a good fun car and still gets looks going to keep mines for a while💯 looking to change out all old parts this year
Hell yeah! Nice to see higher miled Tsx getting taken care of 🔥🙏🏻
I have an 04 that has 228 on it and I hope I can make ot last to 300! That's awesome! I don't know though as whomever had ot before me did not do it justice. I've had to do brakes all the way around, two bearings, and now I am havibg a strange intermittent headlight issue. I live in WA so your comment about rust... yep, that could be an issue at some point for me. I have to say it's a relief to hear you mention the 1st - 2nd gear issue because I thought I was losing it! I will have owned this for 2 years on 6/13. I yhink my AC compressor has gone out, and of course that happened on a record day here last year where it hit 108 beginning of June!
Do u have premium fuel
This vid helped me figure out why my 1st to 2nd feels shitty, the delay valve in the clutch master cylinder. I’m upgrading to the em2 asap. Thanks G!
Hell yeah!! Glad my video could be of help man 🙌🏼
I appreciate you appreciating us ! God I miss mine so bad. I upgraded to a dope 2012 civic LX 🤣😒
Still a solid car! Just not as “sporty” but we both ain’t fast anyways 😭
@@RishMedia I still drive it like it has a 4piston k24 😂
@@jamiebexley7125 only way to do it 🤌🏼
A problem I struggled with for a long time on my 07 was total power and electrical failure. The car would basically shut off sitting at a red light or electronics would malfunction while driving. I did some research and sometimes this could be related to ECU failure from moisture leaking onto the circuit board causing it to rust. I took mine out and it was fine. Others suggested changing the battery ground cable even if it looks in good condition still. I did so with an OEM one and that seemed to solve the issue. No more problems with that, fingers crossed.
Another problem that I am having, which is more of an annoyance, is that during idle with AC on the car vibrates tremendously. That’s the problem I’m currently working.
Otherwise, best car I’ve ever owned. Love my TSX 6speed.
I had kinda a weird similar problem it ended up being my knock sensor car was going crazy and in limp mode sputters the whole nine yards lol..
And the vibration at Idle check out your motor mounts even maybe the tranny mounts see how they’re doing!
I believe that was on a recall note for the moisture leaking into the ECU. And they put a protective cover on it later on.
@@riza4086 yup there was I think they literally put some sort of tape on it lol
My car started smoking behind the radio in my 04'.... So it's curtains for the radio...gotts probably replace the entire radio, harness and all...
Did you ever solve the vibration noise at idle with the ac!?
I've been binging pretty much all your videos, they're really helpful thanks a lot dude. I'm looking to get one as my first car for my 18th bday in a few months 🙏
Thanks a ton dude!! Make sure to get something clean and 6 speed, wait around till you find the right one trust me.
I started the same time got my blue one when i was 18 didn’t even know how to drive manual lmao
@@RishMedia Thanks for the tips, whatever happens my first car will DEFINITELY be a manual haha 🙏
@@abb05 hell yeah man! Wish you the best on finding a gem 💎
@@RishMedia thanks a bunch! 😁
I'm about to go change my starting rack tomorrow and my AC compressor is bad ,I have a little vibration issue coming from the left side, I already rebuild my power steering pump and my alternator sometimes winds a little. But I love my TSX and I still think its pretty reliable, had it since 2017
Ooof steering rack isn’t the most fun job with the space, swapped mine out while the motors out of the car lol. Hopefully Detroit axle will be fine. But yeah that notorious wine through your speakers lmao
My 06 just hit 270k it’s by far the most reliable car I’ve owned I have replaced things like my radiator starter battery atleast 3 times in the 8 years I’ve owned it also the racking pin and I’m about to replace motor mounts soon and front shocks love these cars the k series is a solid engine also the transmission has been really good to me it’s stock never had any issues with that overall the tsx is an awesome car and fun to drive
Exactly man you treat these right do some usual maintenance, they’ll do you good to! So many Tsx’s going on 300k+ miles but unfortunately a lot of people neglect them too.
Big reason why they are becoming more popular and expensive.
The amount of love & growth from this video has been absolutely amazing!
THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️
What Tsx content do you want to see!?
🙏🏽🤍🤝
Cracked clutch pedal bracket....I was swapping parts out left and right trying to figure out why it grinded going into reverse.. Then saw that in a forum and low and behold mine was cracked all the way down
Yuppp I over looked that one, dealt with it on my last one as well forgot to mention! Thanks for including it. 💪🏻
Thanks for this been happening to me i was wonder why it kept happening much apprecaited
What’s your recommendation on motor mounts? I need to replace it and keep hearing guys say just go OEM. Also should I do all 3 or just the one bad one?
If your stock not running big mods or don’t plan to really go Oem, cause you’ll deal with the vibrations if you go innovative.
Oem new are a bit of money I’d say just start with the ones that are bad/torn
Great video. Thanks. I have an '06 had the rack and pinion replaced by a neighbor. I did the alternator. Need to do the power steering pump. Did all sorts of under carriage suspension work some by me (use the Diablo sawzall blades they cut way better than others). Dreamy to drive though and now at 240K.
Oh yeah a little TLC and these cars are solid, those rubbers bushings ware out in time.
I gotta do some replacing on the daily tighten up the steering and smoothness.
What was your symptoms of the intermediate shaft going out? I think mine is going out because when I’m going over 80 mph, I hear a lot of noise under the car. Not sure if it’s a wheel bearing or shaft. It’s a 6 speed as well, the axles were rebuilt a year ago
Almost sounded like a clutch chatter when I’d press in the clutch pedal and also driving like you say wheel bearing noises.
Because there is a bearing so it makes sense.
But to see if it’s actually bad take it out then spin the bearing, if it’s super loose/wobbly then definitely a culprit
That rattling noise i faced in my several tsx's, timing of cam chain issues with engine, A/C compressor was my issue in 08, vibrating axle shaft was with 04 TSX I had, however my 08 so far was the best honda I ever purchased in life... I was its second owner, first owner was a gentle man !
My 04 had alot of random issues since thats the first year of the US TSXs i just got the iffy one. 😂 but these cars are great i just cant leave them alone so its down more then driving now.
‘05 TSX Manual at 150,000: Multiplex Integrated Control unit faulty. Caused my dash lights to go out and electronic locks do not work. Upper and lower control arms needed replacement. Other than that, runs great!
I hate electrical problems lol just dealt with some myself threw this whole clutch job mess lmaoo
I'm considering trading labor cost for this vehicle and you got me double thinking LMAO bro was that beer? Lol dude just threw the notes out
It’s really just issues that happen over time with age and especially if previous owners don’t upkeep and treat them right.
But there’s those few things that just go bad or prematurely give out though.
Just like any car really.
Nice things to list, but I generally havent had issues with those parts, until later miles, and if I went aftermarket, I was changing them out again. Always try to go denso with your starters, alternators, and so forth IF possible. Aftermarket axles suck when you get them for a manual. They are not the right size for the driver side. Unsure if it was a tad bit shorter, or longer.
Things that should also be listed:
HID Ballasts can get water in them or rust, if you live in areas with a lot of rain/snow. I sealed mine better with silicone
Clutch pedal cracks causing your clutch to prematurely go out.
Door Lock actuators commonly need to be replaced
Front Compliance Bushings commonly need to be replaced
Climate control lights might go out. Believe it or not, its the headunit/cd player portion that snaps into the back that fixes that. I replaced mine, and Im good. New ones can be found on ebay even.
Dome lights dont work with new bulbs even. The switch is the issue. Replace that.
Exhaust tips hang uneven. Get new hangers or better ones. I went with polyurethane. Worked perfect for years.
Rattle on start up? Its the VTC cam gear. I still have not replaced mine.
Hesitation while accelerating? The accelerator sensor most likely is the culprit. Its part number 37971-RBB-003. Sorry for the copy and paste.
Driver heated seat not working? Eh. I replaced my seat. Now that one isnt working after 3 years. 😒
And I think thats it. 😂 You covered the rest.
Woooo a big list! Most of those I think I haven’t really dealt with maybe the door actuator definitely the pedal crack is one I missed.
Thank you for your feedback man!
@@RishMedia Not a problem man! Always here to help if anything! Please keep the content coming!!!
Always man!! Trying to find out what people like to see and kinda go off that a bit, grinding to grown bigger. 🙏🏻
@@RishMedia I hear you! Honestly, you dont see much content for these cars. So whoever owns them would love to see ANYTHING dealing with them, from maintenance, to someone trying out aftermarket parts, races, common issues/fixes, and so forth. You'll do great.
Hell yeee that’s what this channels all about! 💪🏻
04 here. 109k. Awesome condition. Starter giving me trouble as we speak. Battery fine. Also door actuators! My driver side is out. Have to manually lock. And didn't hear the console backlighting mentioned. Radio and climate functions work fine, but none of the buttons light up. Thankfully, I can remember where everything is at night. Still a great car.
Yeah sounds like some aging issues, these cars aren’t the newest anymore but still really good! 🙌🏼
I got my daughter a 2007 TSX from a friend, as her first car. I love driving it. It had 110k miles on it, and it's like new. I just wish it was manual. It should last a long time.
They’re great cars! Low miles and clean PLEASE cherish it cause people neglect these awesome cars to much.
04 220k 6spd manual white. Only the starter z gone for me off your long list! Along with a couple of other things. Will drive it as long as possible. Don't have to deal with annoying auto trannies, auto start/stop, cylinder deactivation, turbo issues.....
These cars have been great for me but just the typical maintenance stuff and my hard driving style 😂
ITS THE BLUETOOTH! That part was hilarious lmao
When In doubt always blame the Bluetooth 😂
I cant believe how cheap these are still, I really wanted to get a v6 accord MT but they're hard to come by or beaten up so i settled on a TSX considering the k24 is a beast.
Yeah getting a nice 6-6 is hard to find but packs a punch but gotta love the screaming Vtec of the k24
Should
Of got the Honda 😂
2nd gen TSX has electronic power steering it can be kinda spendy if it goes bad but it typically lasts a long time and even if it does go bad you can pull one from a junk yard easily
Good and informative video. I have an '06 and lately it's been struggling to start. Like its real slow and labored but it does still start. Battery, alternator, compression all checked out fine. So I'm guessing the starter is going?
Yeahhh sounds like it could be the starter! Assuming you’re not getting a parasitic battery drainage from the Bluetooth module.
I just got an 04 6mt as my first stick car and I thought I was going crazy because no matter how smoothly I let off the clutch 1st to second is always so rough, glad to know it’s not just me 😂😂
I still have the issue tbh lol and its alot of factors to it too
dude I've exclusively driven manual for 20 years, and I still can't get first gear right in this car half the time. the lag is terrible
@@Red88Rex it’s horrible half the time I shift to second the whole car jerks😭
I'll give you two more for the 2011 thru 2014 series:
1. Scratch prone interior door pulls...makes your TSX look like a 24/7 Uber car.
2. Defective VTC accuator in the 2.4 motor. Swap it out, new one goes bad in 30 days.
dang that cheaper plastics SMH!
but yeah i get that slight noise at cold starts lol.. been letting it rock can't do that job atm.
Riiiish, everyday I get on YT and see your car In a thumbnail I'm like "Damn I love how low your car is " I like that year better than my 05 for the bumper, it's more up to date and sleek.
Aww shucks ☺️ thanks dude! Yeah the facelift is a bit different and the lip kits but maybe do a facelift if you’d like or try to find a 07-08!
@@RishMedia You're welcome bro. I may try to do the face-lift, if i spend money over $2k its going to an all Motor build 😎 Can't lie, difference in body style, hp and a manual is calling me. I was thinking if I all motor my 05 I'd probably get either an 06-08 to keep the project car off the road but that bitch is screaming for power, it does not make sense to put 93 in this car without POWAAAAA Parts 🤣
Tbh I wouldn’t go a all motor build in a auto Tsx won’t be as fun imo if you plan to go all out try to find a 07/08 6 speed for sure
@@RishMedia Yes that's true, definitely won't be fun driving a slap stick with excessive power under the hood. 6 speed It is 😎
Let’s gooo! 😈
Had most of these. Also the Navigation disk read error is a super common one and happens to TLs also.
Yeah I’ve gotten weird errors with the disc read but never fully stopped working thankfully
The delay valve is such a problem 🤣 I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling like that.
Ooof I felt dumb sometimes trynna drive the thing even removing the delay valve still feels like it slightly lol
2004 Tsx manual. changed the power steering pump but still leaking. What could be the issue? Also, the high-pressure hose is fairly new too.
Did you replace the O rings with new OEM ones? They had a recall at some point for being defective/leaking.
I have an 06 and the Bluetooth thing gonna get unplugged for a little, it vibrates and from time to time when I brake and hit the gas battery light turns on & off. Don’t know what that could be
Hmmm and no CEL?
Make sure you battery connection is tight and battery isn’t moving. Also check your ground connections. Sounds like something’s a bit loose
had mines for 3 years everything you said was facts, but I swear in my area at least, no tsx has a working glove box or sun visors
Lmaoo these cars do get some weird ass issues tho randomly at that
06 TSX with 112K. The glove box does not work. Sun visors still work.
I had to replace the EPS but Acura covered it under an "extended" warranty. I don't have a warranty, by the way. The dealer cost was $1,500, but Acura paid for the replacement. I have a 2012 TSX with 105K miles.
Atleast it was covered cause gahhh damnn lmaoo
Hey Rish, great video! Did you come across any VVT Solenoid issues? Like does the engine knock when you rev it or even while driving and changing gears in an automatic transmission?
Hey man and no a bit different for me since I’m manual but I was dealing with a p1009 code which is about the VVT sensor on the side of the head.
I swapped that out and ended up getting a p2467 code after, which was the pigtail to the vtec solenoid oil pressure sensor.
But was dealing with the car revving constantly at idle jumping to like 2.5k rpm’s.
Code after vtec wouldn’t engage just rev
@@RishMedia hey man thanks for the info, yup its still doing that, like the rev fluctuates all the time while driving but i currently dont have any check lights or vsa lights popping up on the dash! Will changing of the VVT solenoid improve the knock sound and slight vibration of the engine while in idle and also in drive mode? Im also thinking that valve needs adjustments as well.
About the master cylinder problem. I did a clutch job on my 04 tsx and it has an issue going into 1rst gear sometimes. It has a crunching sound once i put it into first gear but if i put it into second gear first then put into 1rst gear its fine no crunching sound. Do you think this would be my master cylinder? Maybe the clutch fluid isnt going through as much?? Thoughts??
What clutch master is it and clutch did you use? You maybe just need to adjust the clutch pedal a little to help it out. Make sure your slave or CMC doesn’t have a leak.
Great vid bro
Thank you for checking it out! 🙏🏻
i have a 2007 tsx and yes all that problems youve mentioned i have experienced all that kinda expensive though ,had my power steering pump replaced at thedealer ..do you have any suggestion regarding parts store that I could use?coz dealer tends to charge wayyy moree $$$$ on it!
Yeah tends to happen especially if you go oem for everything, but oem isnt bad. I also use oriellys or autozone cause lifetime warranty.
Also i do all my own maintenance basically so something like a power steering pump is real easy.
You named everything I had to work on so far wow this is true
Alot of it is common maintenance but is the stuff that goes out in the tsx lol
Navi version, why can’t I access the “more” page on the top right of the setup screen? I don’t have the disc if that matters.
Not entirely sure as I haven’t dealt with that, maybe it’s because of the disc?
I know I am late to this but with the Accord CL9s the Accelerator Pedal Positioner (APP) Sensor being faulty is very common amongst most Accords, could be the same for the TSX's. This is usually why after driving for a while the car goes into Limp Mode, Usually the Engine and VSA Light comes on when this happens.
Yup it has happened to me once or twice before in the past, definitely a more problematic issue I do see amongst the groups.
My new tsx guy for sure I feel almost all that has been said heavy on the drain and heavy on the Ac not doing it’s job
Ayeee thanks for joining in 💪🏻
I'm pulling a u0122 code I got new vsa module and it says abs motor relay open or short and my DLC is loose.. there has to be a short somewhere what's the easiest wait to go about finding it to fix it? I just have a multimeter and good launch scanner it's a 06
Hmm damn I haven’t really dealt with much like that, maybe look into your fuses make sure whichever for the abs/vsa and stuff is good.
Make sure your alternator is reading I think like 14.7 or something may have to double check.
Also double check your ground wires make sure they’re not all beat up especially thicker green one on the left side. Then double check your wires/connections that nothings loose or exposed
Hey mate did you buy OEM inner driveshaft ? I broke the outer one and I bought GSP but the car vibrates at 40km/h. I'm looking for solutions, OEM is too expensive
The half shaft? Your able to replace the bearings on those what some ppl would recommend cause new is pretty expensive.
Then best options is looking on eBay or junkyards for oem lower mile axles.
Next best alternative are raxles
I have just replaced my front crank seal cuz oil is splahed everywhere. Would it be the power steering pump? Or what is the common issue for a oil leak?
Its hard to say from your description, oil pressure switch, vtec solenoid, rear main seal, valve cover, timing chain cover etc
Everything you listed I've had issues with. Last thing on my to do list is my ac compressor, and my VSA light keeps popping up. The motor runs strong but everything around it seems to be an issue on these cars.
We got the best k series motor!! Along with bunch of weirdly common issues all around lmao fairly easy to work on for most stuff too which is nice.
Did you find out why your VSA light is on because I have done all 4 brakes and mine is still on!
It was the pedal position sensor for me
My 2006 Acura TSX has a rattle in the glove box area when rolling. Glove box open or closed makes no difference. Any ideas?
Hmm damn lol and positive it’s coming from there? Does it open and closer perfectly fine?
Would say maybe one of the plastics or thing part of the glove box movement broke off or something loose
Have you heard of any problems with the ELD (Electronic Load Detector)? I'm experiencing some battery drainage problems, car not starting or barely staring, cranks for a while and will finally start, and then sometimes it starts with no problems. I've replaced the starter and alternator already. Any suggestions? Thanks Brother!!!
What year do you have?? With the 06-08 models they have a Bluetooth module front passenger side. When those go out it tends to drain and draw the power.
That was my culprit with symptoms like yours, that or like a battery since you’ve replaced the other 2 possibilities
@@RishMedia Appreciate You getting back to Me. I have an ‘08. I disconnected the Bluetooth a few months ago which helped for a week or so. But still having the same problem. I’ve replaced the battery 5 months ago as well.
@@justlikeice hmmm are you getting any codes?
Don’t want you to just keep buying parts and doesn’t fix, alternator/starter could be faulty.
Maybe have a bad ground issue or terminal connection to battery
Parasitic battery drain issue was resolved in my 2007 TSX by disconnecting the trunk mounted DVD NAV unit.
I’m having an issue with the abs / vsa lights now the car has a noise and a weird rumble from the pass side was thinking the abs sensor but not sure why I’d get a rattle haven’t looked at it yet but wondered if this was common also I did reset the lights at on point now they won’t stay off
More then likely bad wheel bearing, abs and VSA turns on to the sensors going bad and or the wheel bearing along with it
Any thoughts on fixing the notchy tendencies of the 6spd? Was thinking Transmission oil, Clutch Master, Slave, then maybe bushing?
I’ve made some previous videos on this!
I installed a hybrid racing CMC slave and braided line, also the CT short shifter and weighted shift knob. Definitely improved shifting a ton, a nice tranny fluid flush and adding synchromesh to it should help more to, which I plan on doing.
If you ever owned a Acura/ Honda or had anyone close to you that had any the tsx tranny is trash straight dog shit
Wassup rish my 2006 tsx is ticking before I got the oil change. What could it be will SEA FOAM will fix the ticking noise?
It’s ticking after the oil change too? Make sure enough oil but also it may need a valve adjustment
Hilarious. Everything you listed i had to replace on my 08 lmao. My car is like brand new considering all the work done. Im gonna have a hard time letting it go
Yeah same here since i got mine I’ve replaced or fixed most things front end/engine bay wise lmao
The issue I'm having right now is that the power outlets arnt grounded so I can't plug anything in all the fuses work but not the sockets. I don't know how to fix it pls I'd love some feedback
Honestly electrical stuff is my weakest link 😅😅 but with that always look at your ground cables, 2 of them make sure not they’re not all old and beat up and the connections are proper.
Then making sure battery terminals/connections are good and clean.
I have the 2004 and sometimes when I start the car it won't ignite and turn it off and try again then it starts, sometimes it will start and when you try to raise the car it won't raise and will have to turn it off and start it again and it will raise. Please do you have any similar problem like this and what might be the cause? Thanks
Wdym by the raising car part? lost me there tbh, it could be numerous things. Any CEL, other kind of problems how many miles in the car, maybe a fuel cut/fuel pump issue but not sure.
I have a 2011 TSX V6. So far, the only non-consumable that it needed was the starter. And that just happened this year.
Not to shabby! Got the nice v6!
Got a 04 tsx with 240k miles it is automatic the onky problem I had over the years was the transmission just giving out and the ac compressor other than that it works fine then again it is a daily and completely stock
Better to keep it that way! Sounds like its been a real solid daily 💪🏻
I have a 2005 tsx. For some reason I have gone threw 3 axels in a week. Not beating on the car either. I don’t know what it is. I wanna change the motor mounts and the lower control arm to see if that works. Do you know anything about that
What problems are you having that you went through 3 axles in a week that sounds odd.. what axles did you go with?
Our cars don’t like after market axles, some might be funky right out the box and you’ll always get a vibration.
If it’s your passenger side take a look at your half shaft too, bearing might be shot and making noise/shaking.
Was my culprit before!
Hi I have a 2007 tsx recently had a weak crank and then now it just won’t crank no more, when your trying to crank it all the lights on dash comes on radio everything works just no response I have change the starter and ignition switch still no progress. The battery is about 5 months old I’m not sure what else to look at next hope u can help me out thanks.
I’d say get your battery tested, also check your ground wires. Could also check the voltage coming from the alternator see if it’s charging proper.
Also can try to unplug the Bluetooth module it can be causing a drainage issue.
I have a 07 tsx. When driving it makes a woom woom woom noise in the front. On turns at lower speeds its a little louder. Starts around 30 and up. Could it be described in the video or something else ?
That almost sounds like a wheel bearing your describing. You can check by lifting up each wheel and see if there’s any wheel play back and forth.
I need help I have 07 tsx when I cut car off I still hear like ticking sound I don’t always hear when I do it drain my battery then I need a jump do u know what that could be
Hmmm the simplest thing to check first with the 06-08s are the battery draining from the bluetooth module, right side panel under the glove back area take plastics off, and unplug the green wire. Start/jump your car and drive around for awhile to give the battery a recharge. Come back to it again little later see if it starts, if not maybe the alternators bad. Do you hear a whining sound from speakers while accelerating?
I have an 2004 TSX and my problem is the casa/radio and clock lights are dim and I have to use my flashlight on my phone to see the time or to change the station like the lights work they are just really dim and I’ve tried the knob on the dash but it only brightens up the dash lights. Plsssss HELPPPPPP
Cant fully remember what people said about that id suggest changing out the fuses that deal with any lights or dash stuff. If that doesn’t work then possibly the the center console stuff are starting to go.
I love my Acura TSX thank you for this video
Not a problem, they’re great cars!
@@RishMedia omg yes I'm planning on buying an SUV. But I came across your video by accident. I was looking on how to take off a door but found your other videos useful for the future lol thanks again
Yo bro a close family friend is selling a 2009 tsx with 73k miles on it for 5k he told me ac dosnt work and there's just wear and tear on the driver seat is there anything I should look for in particular
Honestly for the miles and price can’t really go wrong “MOST” stuff starts happening around 90k-110k mile marks but really just maintenance that needs to be kept up with
I have an automatic 07 tsx that has a slight hesitation from a stopped position. Any idea what to look for?
Not exactly cause that could be quite a few things, any CEL?
Possible something to do with like the throttle body or the tps giving throttle delay.
Bought a 04 TSX AT w/ 62k miles. Hearing a loud whining noise when in sport shift mode at higher RPM’s. Sounds like a supercharger. I turned the speaker volume off so I don’t believe it’s coming from the speakers. Any idea where it could be coming from?
Hmmm and you dont have any codes or weird issues? I almost feel like it still can happen when the radio is off dont remember if it was like that for me. Could be one of the pulley bearings or just the alternator. But try to get that and your battery tested first.
Thanks man now I know why my car is vibrating got to change my axle soon
Yessir it also can be your half shaft aswell
My rack and pinion and power steering pump went, now I hear a tapping sound when it’s in drive and my foot is on the break….anybody know what that is????? It’s an 08’
Did you get the rack and pump fixed??
And if not start with that maybe and look over your brakes
06 tsx owner here, how come my cluster doesn’t show a shifter display such as PRNDL or the Manual display
Like it doesn’t have it at all in it or doesn’t light up? If it’s not there at all maybe you have a manual cluster swapped which is odd.
Or the LED lighting on the cluster mother board fried
What you think is a perfect drop for the tsx? Soon going to buy raceland coilovers not trying to be too low you think 2 inch is enough to give it that sexy look ? I do a lot of driving not trying to to scratch it .
I think 2”-2.5” should be good for you! Really depends on the wheels you have aswell.
Atm I’m 3” drop in the rear and 2.5” in the front was 3” but kept bottoming out and scraping now it’s almost perfect for driving around
@@RishMedia oh okay thank you brother ! Can’t wait for your upcoming vid
@@jonathanmb99 not a problem man! Thanks for the love 🙏🏻
Ik this like 2 years ago but what if your rpm gage not working?? I got a 04 an the rpm gage doesn’t work.
Honestly can just be something on the circuit board fried out, or could be a wiring thing/sensor behind the cluster.
Huh, so that's why my TSX always had a battery draining problem. I got mine from my mom who daily drove it for 11 years (it's also white pearl but an auto). The battery would sometimes randomly die. Who woulda thought it was the Bluetooth causing it 😂
Yupp once the module goes bad it tends to just draw/drain power.. lol such a quick fix tho!
@@RishMedia how do i fix it
@@saucekayuchiha2278 here you are I’ve made a video on it in the past!

I have an rsx n i had/have the same problems. Do you think honda is reliable or not really?
Do you think Toyota is more reliable?
Of course! Some of these are general issues that go out overtime but definitely Honda/Acura/Toyota/Lexus the top most reliable cars on my list
my rack seems to be going out i thought it was powersteering but the power steering pump works good, i am leaking power steerig fluid from the boots of the rack. any sugggestions i bought this car about a month ago from a private sales and now this happens. PLEASE HELP. its leaking where the boots meets tie rod?
Dang man that unfortunate what’s the year and mileage? But yeah sounds like you need a new one I recommend Detroit axle like I did if you want to save money or get oem but it’s pricey
@@RishMedia 2008 tsx 204k miles ive put like 400 miles on it since owning it now this happend
@@l3gitcravee ahh yeah probably became time especially if never had been changed either
Hey guys, just wondering if somebody could help me out. I have a 2008 TSX. Lately, the car has been making a noise when I am idling at a stoplight when the car is in drive, or if I have a car in reverse or in the lower gear. It stops when the car is in park, or in neutral. Does anybody have any idea what’s going on? I also recently replaced the alternator so I’m not sure if it has anything to do with that?
What kind of noise is it??
Like a humming something rotating constantly,
Could be the belt, power steering pump, alternator or the idler pulley/tensioner.
Could also be motor/trans mount related, it’s hard to say with minimal info/not seeing or hearing it.
It externally looks like one of those honda accords and you can get a very decent one for around £ 2.5/3 k so , is it really worth paying 5X that amount for a car with so many issues ?Just asking
Its really just general maintenance stuff and the occasional weird thing but most of it just needs to be kept up with.
And yes these cars are going up in price great platform, great sought after engines, and if ya get a 6 speed thats the cherry on top.
I have a 2005 tsx an I’m have problems with my temperature gauge going up and down like it wants to Run Hot it didn’t start doing that until I recharge my A/C . Do you have any idea what that issue could be ?
Are your fans kicking on, relays working, fluids filled in the radiator and reservoirs filled? Maybe your thermostat is playing some games, Also looking into your heatercore could be a variety of things.
Could be something more simple of a fix, or like a heatercore thats a bish.
@@RishMedia I did a pressure test an I found out it was my radiator it was leaking.
I have an 04 tsx and the radio seems to be possessed. When I turn right step on the brakes the volume goes up and down and it's start changing the radio stations and switches from am to fm to cd. Also the buttons on the steering wheel stopped work. Anyone have this problem and if how did you fix it.
what the hell lmaoo... sounds like some sort of wiring issue or shortage? sorry never dealt or heard of a similar issue.
I have had my 2006 Acura TSX for 17 years and put 250k miles on it. I have definately had to replace / repair some items on your list:
1. Power Steering Pump
2. Starter
3. Alternator
4. Bluetooth
Not on your list:
1. Ignition coils
2. Oil pump
3. PCB for interior button lights
Yup most of it is just overtime mileage/age maintenance but solid cars!
Yo I have a problem with my 06 tsx when I jump start my car the car will turn on but it won’t stay on without having your foot on the accelerator and my car sounds like it’s cammed when you have your foot on the accelerator but when you take off your foot of the gas it turns off what could this be ?
Hmm have you replaced the battery at all ? Kinda sounds like the alternator possibly not holding charge any more and bearing making noise?
Is the belt making any noise or burning?
@@RishMedia would you please help me I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong with my car and I have a video of how it sounds when I’m trying to crank it up is there a way I can send you the video !!
Damn... I changed starter, rack and pinion, ball joints front struts, radiator, head gasket, driver side window motor, master control switch alongside the other 3 window switches, all four actuators, rear upper control arms, front upoer control arms, rear sway bar rubber and link ends, radio, speakers. Damn i changed a lot.
Gahhhh damn lmaoo you and i both… currently have me engine out and apart again 🙃
04 tsx.i have a problem with water on the passenger rear floor.heard it was a common problem and can’t find out where it comes from.
I had that issue with my first Tsx, make sure your door seals are fully pushed in and seated and no extra tears.
Then I’d also get an air compressor open your sunroof and blow air down the drains and see if it’s clogged up or not.
Hey I am just wondering if the Bluetooth could be the cause of the issue I have, ok so from time to time my 2007 tsx just goes off and I have to stop, set the gear to Parking, pull out the key and start the engine. But sometimes when I’m moving and start to decreasing the speed it attempts to goes off but suddenly goes back to normal with the greetings on the display(welcome driver 2)
It feels like car does not have the capacity to provide the consuming power and it just cuts the power off so the car goes off.
And if yes is it enough to just disconnect the phone from the car? Or the Bluetooth wire inside the car needs to be unplugged? Or anything else?
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
Sounds like your alternator may be just crapping out and drawing out the power, have you changed it at all anytime? Also wouldn’t hurt to unplug that Bluetooth plug can also be a drainage
@@RishMedia haven’t changed my alternator yet, but looks like I will in the nearest future. At least the situation got better after I unplug that green Bluetooth chord yesterday (:
My car won’t go off as often as it used to
Thanks for reply you have a nice day 👌🏻 😊
@@vladmiller6389 hope all goes well man! If ya still occur draining issues more then likely the alternator next
Never had any of thise problems with my daily driver two full time jobs smashing and racing everyone in the highway, the only things that went were the power steering, alternator starter, and just now after 190,000 miles my clutch master. After that awesome car! 2005 Acura Tsx 2005 the best ones!
glad to hear yours has been pretty simple general maintenance good stuff!
Yeah not bad i love these cars i think the 2005 ones came out a little stronger than the rest of the tsx’s once the extra electrical stuff gets added on i think thats where the issues start.
I have a 2006 automatic and my issue is the AC.
Can't get it to even turn on. I changed the AC pressure switch and line even a new compressor. Changed the fuse n relay box that got my radiator fans to work Wich is had issues wit to but is fixed.
Sometimes things like that are a chasing game, theres ways to do tests to dumb down the options. But glad ya got it working though!
I've got a 2012 tech pack tsx that I'm trying to track a draw from so hoping the hfl is the issue with mine...
Yeah check out if there’s a Bluetooth module causing it.
Or if any car alarm systems have been used previously
08 tsx 180k still running smooth 👌 the only issue i have is that every year I have to replace my brake rotors, for some reason after a few months my cars start shaking when breaking at high speed, I'm guessing is a factory defect. If anyone has any tips please share 🙏 😊
Love to hear it! But is it just certain sides or all around? Could be a caliper thing and sticking a little making it uneven ware
@@RishMedia I believe it's just the front rotors , I have replaced all four calipers and changed brake fluid as well. Thanks for your reply
@@PR-oq7qn yeah maybe they just get hot spots and become warped maybe try different brand or styles
@@PR-oq7qn I heard the brake lines hoses get messed up and to replace those. I heard steel hoses last longer.
TSX Content??? Subbed!!!
Ayee thank you! Theres plenty of tsx videos on the channel 😅🙏🏻
I have a 04 tsx and for some reason, it takes a while to start. I replaced alternator, battery. And still has issues.
Could be the starter giving some signs
I have an 06' tsx and when I come to a stop, my hood would always rattle. I check the motor mounts and they are all fine. What do you think it would be ?
Check like your hood latching it may not be sitting right or resting of metal and making it chatter.
Kinda the only thing I’m thinking of atm
Adjust your hood latch. It's adjustable.
@@gloums I never messed with the hood latch, why would it all of a sudden get loose?
@@RishMedia checked the latch, it's fine
@@209ers Try rattling your hood. If there's movement then it's your latch or adjust the rubber stoppers at the far ends.
After replacing my front engine mount I would still hear rattling from the hood. I adjusted the latch and it's much now.
Bro the whining of the alternator sounds like a supercharger 🤣. I had mines go out two times on my Euro R. The axel as well went out on the passenger side 🤦♂️🤣🤣. This video is stating facts 👌
Forrral lmaoo should’ve compared it to that lol and it’s all from the plenty of times I swapped axles 😭😭
Thanks for the feed back and checking it out 🙏🏻
@@RishMedia Np bro, awesome content btw
What control arms do you use?
Atm I have stock ones, down the line I’ll probably get more solid bushings and get them pressed in
