Question: 2001 Acura CL 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 140,000 miles Hello, I am having some trouble to find an answer to my question online. I plan on to change my spark plugs, always have done it myself on my other cars. However, my Acura CL-S I have no problem changing the front three plugs but I don't know the process or what I have to remove to get to the back three plugs. Also I want to know what is the cheapest way, as far as electrical goes, to free up engine power.

Answer: Your vehicle I believe is like the Lumina style set up, the front motor mounts have to be removed and the motor then tilted forward. There is really no electrical way that is cheap to free up horsepower.

Question: 97 Acura CL 2.2 120k miles. The code indicates catalyst system efficiency below threshold Bank (1) any idea on how to correct?

Answer: Replace the catalytic converter and based on the mileage the 2 o2 sensors as well. p0420/p0430 are 2 of the most solid codes out there. the only way I'd say it might be something else is if the car was newer and the miles very low.

Question: I noticed that the clutch engagement on my car seems to be on the high side. Is this an indication that the clutch is worn and will soon need replacement. It still shifts fine and smooth. My car has high mileage, but the clutch was replaced about 35,000 miles ago my driving habits have not changed. It is a 97 Acura CL 2.2 with 197,000 miles.

Answer: Not really, but it might indicate a beginning failure in the hydraulics of the clutch master or slave. I would watch it closely. There is no adjustment of the clutch pedal.
