I have recently been having a problem with my 2000 Acura Tl. The engine seems to run slightly rough when you shift into drive or reverse and operate the engine at a low/ or idling rpm. The car has a small amount of shaking and kind of stutters as you slowly take off. It almost feels as if the power is cutting out.
The other day the problem seemed to worsen after I was sitting in a long line for the Canada/ Us border crossing. I noticed that the check engine light was on, and stayed on until I restarted the car some miles later. It has intermittently been coming on and off. I also noticed once or twice that the traction control system indicator came on and stayed on, it wouldn't go away even if I pushed the tcs button.
I think I may just have a dirty fuel filter, at least hopefully. Hopefully it isn't a transmission or other serious problem ( especially as the tcs light was on). Any ideas on what this could be? Thanks.
