Nothing until recently in the last two years, except for routine maintenance and replacement of worn parts, eg. oxygen sensor. Maintained meticulously, but has developed an annoying electrical problem that the best personnel at Acura, and our regular mechanic's shop, seem unable to trace.
At rest, battery is OK, but after a run,short or long, will not restart,and even dies at stoplights.
Major drain somewhere.
Has been a magnificent car, well built, comfortable and fast.
Has been garaged for last 5 winters, and fires up each time, no problem.
The current electrical problem has defeated the Acura personnel, and unless they can correct it, sadly, it must go.
Engine warning light, O2 sensor, occasionally comes ON, goes OFF after engine warm and restarted.
All that is wrong with your 1990 Legend is the main relay which is under the left side of the dash and very easy to replace. (It should be preventively replaced). This relay begins to fail at about 100K miles. The shellac on its coils evaporates and condenses on the contacts, causing them to fail. In fact, when you remove the relay, it will actually smell bad.
Cost of the relay from dealer or as after market part is about 40 to 65 dollars. It should not take more than 20 minutes to remove the bottom portion of the dash and plug in a new relay. Please don't let this minor defect spoil the pleasure of a fine car. Good luck!
