What would cause the transmission fluid to leak after having radiator replaced on a 1991 acura legend?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two tranny lines on your radiator and you may have not hooked them back up properly. They are located at the bottom of the radiator, 1 is sorta in the middle and other will be closest to the drivers side. Or it could be a worn line that was fine up until it was messed with. I have a 94 I have named Murphy as in Murphy's law. Every bit of work I've done has ended up being ten times more difficult than it should have been or anything that can go wrong during maintenance is going wrong. Good luck hope that helped!

Where is the oil sending unit for a '90 Acura Legend 4 door?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

IT WOULD BE ON THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK NEXT TO THE OIL FILTER IT WILL HAVE A SINGLE WIRE ON IT

Does the oil light blink or is it a steady light? Will the oil light stay on until you shut off the ignition or does it come & go as you drive?

Does an alternator get hot?

Asked by Wiki User

yes if it has a fault. Either a bearing has gone - in which case you should hear a noise. Or the rectifier has a fault (probably a short circuit) in which case things can get very hot and you will see smoke.

When a car is turn off the water stops circulating, but heat is still being conducted from the warm engine into the water. Aslo warm water rises and the temperatue sender unit is usually placed near the op of the eingine. This causes the temp to rise slightly after turning the engine off

Where is the transmission filter in a Acura CL 3.0?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As I understand it......

The Filter is embedded in the transmission. The dealership drops the tranny to replace it.

If you are having shifting problems join the club. There may be a recall on your specific vehicle. Check with the dealer but do your homework by checking the internet first. Good luck.

What would cause a code 9 on 1989 Acura legend coupe if the sensor is good?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Code 9 means: CYP Sensor Position 1

On a 1988 Acura Legend, this is:

True. But first check the ohm/resistance reading with a multimeter. It should read between 500 and 1000 ohms. You can check it on the terminals coming off the wiring from the passenger side, front of car , about 8 inches below top of engine, just to the right of the plastic timing cover (behind it, towards the engine). There are four terminals coming from the sensors (2 sensors inside the timing cover, below the timing gear). One is the number one cylinder sensor (CYP, Number One Cylinder Position Sensor) and the other is the Crank Sensor, to sense the speed of the engine, to time the spark and gas input. The other sensor on my car, the TDC Sensor, (INSIDE THE DISTRIBUTOR, BELOW THE ROTOR AND TOP PLATE) only senses when the engine is at top dead center, not which cylinder is at TDC. My engine shuts down after starting, because this sensor is ok, but the info is handed off to the ECU, which then relies on the other two sensors to keep running.......Crank and Cyl sensors, under the timing gear. All 3 of mine test ok. But since I disassembled the rebuilt distributor from the auto parts store to make sure it was not bad, I reassembled incorrectly, I think. There is a gear inside which distributes spark and that has to lined up. Now I need to figure how to check my installatioin of this gear.

Anyone out there can help?

Acura Legend is overheating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most common cause of overheating is a thermostat stuck in the closed position. However, other causes are: faulty water pump, clogged radiator, clogged hose(s), coolant leak or a broken drive belt. I had a 1987 legend with around 160K that was overheating. Antifreeze would boil out of the overflow. I changed my radiator and it fixed the problem.

Is it bad to add coolant without draining the old if the reserve is dry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no it should be ok to add cooloant but onething you might have to do is to bleed the cooling system to make sure there is no air trapped in the system to cause overheating.

Make sure that the battery fuse is not blown. It is a 40 or 70 amp in the fuse box under the hood.

Why 1994 Legend RPM keep jumping up and down when at park only Could it be Idle control sensor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Check the Coolant system, there is a coolant temp sensor that will cause the engine to do this if it is not actually in contact with the coolant. You will need to vacuum drain the coolant, refill then bleed all the air out of the system. On my legend this happened until realized the radiator cap was bad, it had lost it's seal so the coolant system lost pressure. I didn't realize because the coolant reservoir was full, but there was no pressure to pull the coolant through the system. It could possibly be the idle speed motor needing to be cleaned as well. Once I cleaned mine I haven't had any problems ever since.

How do you remove the radiator on a 1990 Acura Legend?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ITS TIME CONSUMING , BUT U NEED TO REMOVE BOTTOM PANEL UNDER CAR, REMOVE TOP RADIATOR SUPPORT.. PULL RADIATOR AND COOLING FANS UP BUT BE CAREFUL...MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT ALL THE SENSORS AROUND THE FANS. ITS A PRETTY EASY THING TO DO, IT JUST TAKES SOME TIME AND PATIENCE. DONT FORGET TO REMOVE THE HOSES TOP AND BOTTOM.
