2000 Acura 3.2TL Sputters When Starting when Engine is Hot?
When I've driven my 2000 Acura 3.2TL for a while and when I park and turn the engine off, I have a problem starting it back up. When I start it up again, it'll sputter for at least 10 minutes before it'll run smoothly. Every time I have it at the dealer, it runs fine for them. so they can't help me. They just tell me to bring it back if I have any problems. I follow Acura maintenance schedule and care. It has 118,00 miles on it. People tells me, I can get about 300,000 mile out of an Acura, if I take care of it. Well that's what I'm doing. There was one prior owner (a family member) before me, and they bought the care brand new, and they kept up with the maintenance schedule and I'm doing the same. I would love to drive this car long distance, but I'm afraid at the present time.
Can some one please share information with me that will help me?
I have tried searching online to see if there's some solutions that can help when I take it to the dealer. Thank you for any help.

It's impossible for me to know for sure without looking at the car and checking fuel trims and such. but judging from your description it most certainly sound like a fuel injector problem.... I feel your dealers pain because intermittent problems can be rough.. I often drive customers cars home to reproduce complaint.. Obviously we only do that with the customers permission and we put them in a loaner... Good luck, and yes that motor will run forever..
