Why does my Acura TLX make vibrations when accelerating?

So let’s start our content page with the roots of this sort of problem on your car. You should already know that an engine, especially if it is ancient or if it has been driven quite a bit, can naturally vibrate without being a problem behind it. Large diesel engines, especially those with a lot of torque, can trigger this sort of feeling, both at idle and when accelerating.

I feel vibrations on my Acura TLX only when accelerating

Let’s take the most interesting circumstance for us in this content page. The fact that you undergo trembling on your Acura TLX during your acceleration periods, in this situation you will have to examine the state of different elements because several of elements can be at the origin of these vibrations and regardless if you are unlucky a combination of several of them may also be possible, here is the list of parts that can be involved.

  • Turbo: If the turbo of your Acura TLX is faulty, it may trigger vibrations that you will suffer when you accelerate at the moment it is running.
  • The turbo pressure sensor: This sensor will control the pressure exerted in the turbo of your car, if it fails it may disturb the behavior of your turbo and generate vibrations that you may feel during acceleration of your Acura TLX.
  • .

  • If the turbo is punctured or harmed, the effect will be similar, the power supply of your turbo will be disrupted and its behavior too. Make sure visually verify their state.

I’m experiencing vibrations on my Acura TLX at acceleration and deceleration

We will now focus on the case where you feel vibrations on your Acura TLX when you are accelerating but also when you are idling. If you only feel vibrations when you are idling on your Acura TLX, please browse our content page focused on this problem to get rid of your problem. If, alternatively, you identify that your Acura TLX vibrates when accelerating but also when it is stopped, here is the list of elements to verify:

  • EGR valve: In actual fact this valve which controls the return of exhaust gases for pollution standards can become dirty and disrupt the evacuation of exhaust gases which can trigger Acura TLX vibrates when accelerating but also when stopped.
  • Injectors: Your injectors that control the fuel/air mixture flow may be dirty or damaged, which will discharge the wrong amount of mixture and thus prevent your engine block from working properly, it is even possible that one or more of your cylinders are not running properly.
  • Fuel Filter: Like the injectors, if the filter is clogged it will not let the fuel pass properly and therefore disrupt the performance of your Acura TLX, up to the point of generating vibrations during acceleration.

Here are the most important triggers of a Acura TLX that vibrates at acceleration

What can I do to stop the vibration when I accelerate on my Acura TLX? What can I do?

To finish , in this last section, we will give you the solutions available to you to cure these tremors on your car when you accelerate. Here is the best attitude to adopt depending on the part that is involved:

  • Turbo: If your turbo starts all these vibrations when you accelerate your Acura TLX, it will be good for you to control all the parts attached to it because changing a complete turbo is a big budget and most of the time the problem does not come exclusively from the turbo. So be sure to check out your turbo pressure sensor, your flowmeter, the EGR valve and the hoses of your turbo. Otherwise take your Acura TLX to your garage.
  • EGR valve: The EGR valve has the benefit that it is often easy to access and simple to disassemble/clean. You can always look into it and clean it, for this see our content page on cleaning the EGR valve of an Acura TLX.
  • Injectors: Injectors are very delicate parts and a few impurities may be enough to disrupt their performance. Use a fuel additive to simply clean the injectors, if this is not enough you will have to go to a expert.
  • Fuel Filter: If it is the fuel filter, simply change it. A fuel filter doesn’t clean itself, so if it is clogged you will only have to replace it with a new one.

Now you have all the information you need to discover the source of the vibrations at acceleration on your Acura TLX. If you don’t feel able to do certain operations don’t hesitate to go to your technician.
