Check your Transmission Fluid level. If it is low add just enough Acura A/T fluid ATF DW-1 to reach the full mark. Warning: Do not overfill and use only genuine Acura ATF DW1 fluid and nothing else. Check it according to the owners manual instructions. If it is full then you need to seek professional help and have the fluid filter changed. Insist they use only Acura Fluid and no substitute which they may try to use or your transmission will not sift properly.
Rough side up
small rough
it really could be a number of things, but more than likely its either the idle air control valve that is sticking, or your transmission fluid is dirty. When your transmission fluid is dirty or has particles in it, the car will idle rough and seem to want to turn off, once it warms up and the gunk glogging the transmission filter is stirred up, the car will seem to run fine. If you let the car cool and that gunk re-settles, it will do it again.
