Wassup all! I don't I ever had to post here since owning my 2010 Acura TL SH-AWD 6 SPD Manual when I got her new on 09/30/09. I never really had any mechanical issues with her or anything like that. Had to replace the clutch, flywheel, pressure plate at 87k, not gonna blame my fiancee on that, but she got used to driving the car Lolz.
Anyways, I currently have roughly 933XX miles on the car. Mods mechanical wise is just a K&N Drop filter and the Prototype ATLP Cat-Back NON-RES Exhaust. I've had those two installed since 2012 and had no issues. My problem is, after I washed my car at the self-car wash my car started to sound like a Subie WRX! However, I did the whole 'drive off after washing the car' kind of thing to air it out and it drove fine. After I let it sit for about an hour and I took my fiancee to her school on the freeway, it suddenly started to sound like a Subie!
It idles fine and initially it didn't have any CEL or any other warning lights. Once we got to her university, I parked the car and let it sit for about an hour and half. Started it up, then the CEL, VSA, SHAWD, Hill Start Assist lights went off.
Once I got back to our place, I disconnected the battery to see if an ECU reset could fix it, nothing. It seems to accelerate okay and it idles fine with no dips or anything, however, I did a test on 6th gear going about 30mph and pressed on the accel and it bogged to a point where it almost stalled. Normally, it wouldn't do that. Also, it does seem like I would have to press in the accel a little more to get the speed I want to maintain on the freeway.
So, I'm a little stumped, any help would be great. Thanks guys and gals!
