Timing belt wear
The J32A2 engine uses a timing belt, which needs to be replaced every 60,000 to 100,000 miles to prevent engine damage.
Transmission issues
The 2002 Acura TL is known to have transmission problems, especially in models with higher mileage, which can affect engine performance.
Ignition coil failure
Ignition coils can fail over time, causing misfires and poor engine performance.
Egr valve problems
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) valve can become clogged or fail, leading to rough idling or stalling.
Cooling system failures
Radiator and water pump issues can lead to overheating, which can severely damage the engine.
Spark plug wear
Over time, spark plugs can wear out, leading to poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency.
Intake manifold gasket leaks
The gaskets can deteriorate and cause vacuum leaks, leading to rough engine operation and poor fuel economy.
