I have a 88 acura legend and Fuel pump will not start on hot days .?

A common problem on Acura Legends (and other Acuras and Hondas in general) especially in hot weather is the fuel injection ("main") relay. In many cases, this relay is usually the cause of hard starting problems rather than the fuel pump. The fuel pump is misdiagnosed because many people are unaware of the fuel injection (also known as the "main") relay. The main relay is located under the dash, on the driver's side.

What would be the top upgrade for maximum increase of horsepower be on a 1992 acura legend?

N2O (nitrous-oxide) will give you the most " bang for the buck" (most cost effective). For maximum increase in horsepower a fully built tubocharged, inter-cooled, nitrous-injected engine would be in order. If your looking for one component to get the most out of what you already have, and adding the "spray" isn't in the picture, most start with a cat-back exhaust system.

What is the most easy way to change front struts on a 94 acura legend coupe?

I`m Not Sure How To Put This. Let Us Look At Safety First. You Can Remove Them Yourself If You Have A Very Good Set Of Jack Stands To Put The Front Of The Car On. Remove Them Then Take Them To A Shop Or Parts House That Can Press The Springs Down To Remove And Install The Struts. Then You Put Them Back On. I Would See If I Could Furnish The Struts And Have A Good Shop Install These For Me. You Probably Will Find It The Best Way To Do This. But As Stated You Can Do Some Of It Your Self. Good Luck

Why would the drive light be flashing and the check engine light on in a 1992 Acura Legend?

ir you mean the overdrive light there is a problem with the transmission It's the speed control. It's a part that looks like a small transmission connected to the power steering. it's the electrical parts that are bad. Hello, First your letter D is flashing because its your VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) that is bad, you have to replace it. All early 90's Legends go thru that the VSS tends to fail its just a defect they have you will also notice rpm idle changes then your mph or rpm needle will stop or jump up and down then your odometer will stop too! and when your check engine lights on that means its really serious now you better get that fixed before your tranny goes out busted too! their about $150 bucks at the auto parts if you know a little mechanic you can do it yourself its not that hard its right next to the oil filter.

1989 Acura Legend clicking sound at starter motor?

A single click usually means a bad starter (unless the engine is stuck and can't turn over.) Rapid clicking almost a buzz would indicate dead or discharged battery or poor electrical connection from battery to starter.

To be a little more sure, use a voltmeter to measure voltage while trying to crank. Below 9.5V indicates not enough electrical power available - battery issue. Higher voltage then 10.6V indicates plenty of juice, but the starter isn't working.

What is the fix for a 92 Acura Legend speedometer that jumps around and the D4 light blinks?

My electrician says it could be various problems. A bad wire, a sending unit or a �head� whatever that is. If it is an intermittent problem Good Luck.

AnswerLegends have notoriously bad VSS's (Vehicle Speed Sensor). You may want to look into that. A new one would cost around $150.00, but you might be able to get one from a junk yard for a fraction of the cost. AnswerYes the VSS is most likely the problem you are having. As for getting one out of a junkyard I wouldn't advise it because you don't know how good that one is and how long it will last. Ive seen some online for as cheap as 80 bucks. jus gotta shop around. AnswerHello, First your letter D is flashing because its your VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) that is bad, you have to replace it.

AnswerI have a 94 Legend that had similar problems. The D4 light was blinking; the speedometer was erratic; and the engine light came on at high speeds. Per this discussion thread, I went to the Acura dealership and purchased a VSS for about 137.00 dollars and had a mechanic replace the sensor. (I normally do my own work, but I now live in an apartment complex where you can't perform this type work.) Anyway, I had a trusted mechanic replace the sensor and now the problem is solved. New AnswerDitto conformation of above info. The exact symptom was: gauges would bounce around after engine was warm traveling at highway speeds ; eventually gauges would go to zero and "D4" would flash ; then, eventually the 'abs' and 'tc' lights would light, then upon turning the car off, everything would reset as if all was fine! The new vss sensor did the trick! ...BB More EffectsMost of the symptoms above occurred on my '91 Legend and were resolved by replacing the VSS. I'd like to add that in the process of installing the new VSS, my mechanic also reset the computer and as a result the auto transmission shifting points improved tremendously--it drives like a different car now, very smooth powerful shifting. This car apparently depends on VSS data for all sorts of systems. A worthy and relatively inexpensive repair to do! Part Number and Prices

I checked AutoZone. They want $149 for Duralast brand, part number SU5462.

I called an Acura dealer to get their part number and price. They wanted $119.00.

Hi everyone,

My wife's 94 Legend GS has the same problem and then some... Can you tell me if this is all related? The Speedo & odometer does not work... that includes the trip odometer and the main odometer. Speedo does not bounce at all. The ABS and TCS lights are also on. It does sound like the VSS is bad and will have to purchase a new one. Will do the work myself and just want to make sure that I'm going to spend the money on the right thing since I've been laid off and money is TIGHT!

Thanks!

Where is the starter relay on a 1992 Acura Integra?

If your wearing bi-focals, take them off. Push the passenger seat back as far as it will go. Put on a headlamp. Lay down on your back on passenger side and look (nearly to the top) up behind dash on your right. You will see a small black box( 1 1/2" by 1 3/16" ) held in place by a bolt. A connector is plugged into the bottom. One of the wires is white/black. Be very happy; you have located the starter relay. Which begs the question; Why??? Is your integra not starting at times? It is not worth the time and effort to change the starter relay unless you are certain it is defective. I own a 1993 integra GS. It had a won't start at times problem for 8 months until I finally found it. I installed three volt-meter pick-off points. About a week later trouble returned and the fault was found by reading the meter points. Part pulling is shooting from the hip; a bad, costly plan. For example; does your car have a security system? If so the starter signal leaves the ignition switch(12volts...white/black wire) passes through the security starter relay contact then through the starter relaycontact and completes it's journey at the starter solenoid. The security starter relay is located just above the fuse box inside the car on drivers side; easy to locate/change. However don't change unless you know it is defective. I'll send you a diagram if you would like; E-mail a request to SAAILER@NUVOX.NET. In the absence of a diagram; Ground is applied to one side of the starter solenoid and 12volts is applied through ignition switch. Through security starter relay contact. Through starter relay contact. Then via wiring harness to the other side of starter solenoid. A (white/black wire) all the way. Oh yes, Wall mart has headlamps for $12.95.

When the ECU calls for speed sensor will replacing it stop hard shifts in a 1994 Acura Legend L that cause the D4 light to blink and the speedometer and odometer to quit?

Probably. It could also be a connector, damaged wire, faulty computer or any of a number of other problems. A faulty or disconnected VSS can cause hard shifts and the other problems you described. ==NEW ANSWER== DITTO ON THE VSS REPLACEMENT. MY CAR IS NOW BACK TO BEFORE !!...BB
