Hello, I own a 1999 Acura CL with a 2.3L engine and manual transmission. Last week, on the coldest night of the season, my engine shut off while making a left turn. I heard a swoosh sound like something slipped immediately before the shut down. Though I only warmed my car for about a minute, I've done this several times in the past and never had a problem. I tried starting the car, but to no avail. On Saturday, my brother and I began the process of problem shooting. We removed the spark plugs/distributor cap and determined my vehicle had spark. However, we noticed the rotor didn't move while turning the ignition key. We determined my vehicle had fuel: gas on the spark plugs, fuel movement through the break line and fuel injectors. In the past, I could hear the fuel pump engage when turning the key; however, this is no longer the case.

Could you provide some insight on what could be the problem?

Thank you,

Tony

Call the dealer, check if you are covered by the ignition switch recall. You need to give them your vin number
