Yes, the speed sensor could be the culprit for a malfunctioning speedometer and odometer in a 1997 Acura CL. If the speed sensor is faulty or sending incorrect signals, it can cause the speedometer to read inaccurately while preventing the odometer from registering any distance. However, other issues, such as wiring problems or a defective gauge cluster, could also contribute to these symptoms, so a thorough diagnosis is recommended.

Well,how often do you slam on your brakes?

Calipers last a really long time, and as long as you get brake pads as soon as you need them, and don't get your rotors all ground up and ruined, you won't need calipers for quite a while.

The green key symbol on an Acura dashboard indicates that the vehicle’s keyless entry system is engaged and the car is in the "On" position, but the engine is not running. This symbol serves as a reminder that the vehicle is ready to start but has not yet been activated. It also signals that the key fob is detected, allowing the driver to start the engine when ready. If you see this symbol while driving, it may be a prompt to check the vehicle's readiness to operate.

Yes. Used Acura cars have a good reputation as they hold their value well in comparison to some other brands. Those who drive Acura really enjoy their Acura vehicles.

Most car dealerships offer both new and used cars so so you need to find out which ones carry Acura. Some of them even hook up buyers and sellers. Online, you can find several web sites for used cars. Another option would be to find direct owners/sellers thru ads.

Depending on make/model, a used Acura car will usually get between 25-31 miles per gallon. Again, that depends on the model you get, the year, and what the condition the engine is in.

As long as they are kept in good condition, used Acuras are certainly a reliable source of transportation. Shop around to find the best deal. You can look in the Kelley Blue Book for the value of any used car to make sure you are not paying too much.

Yes eBay is a reputable place to purchase an Acura online. Make sure you observe every detail carefully before making the purchase. You can also check out auto trade.

One important thing to remember when puchasing any used vehicle is buyer beware! You should always have a used vehicle checked by a trusted mechanic prior to purchasing. Craigs List can be a great source for used Acuras, but you will want to make sure you take proper precautions.

Used cars are available from many dealerships and individuals on the internet. Most of the dealerships offer some limited warrenty. If buying from an indvidual, it is important to determine if the factory warrenty would still be valid.

Do not use a flat feeler gauge when measuring the gap on a used plug, because the reading may be inaccurate. A round-wire type gapping tool is the best way to check the gap. The correct gauge should pass through the electrode gap with a slight drag. If you're in doubt, try one size smaller and one larger. The smaller gauge should go through easily, while the larger one shouldn't go through at all. Wire gapping tools usually have a bending tool attached.

Use that to adjust the side electrode until the proper distance is obtained. Absolutely never attempt to bend the center electrode. Also, be careful not to bend the side electrode too far or too often as it may weaken and break off within the engine, requiring removal of the cylinder head to retrieve it.
