Question
I was wondering if you could help me out with 2 problems i'm having, please. I have a Acura RSX 2003 Premium. Everytime I go over 105km/hr the ABS light turns on. I would then have to turn off my engine and drive for about 2minutes for the ABS light to turn off again. Would you know what would be the cause of it?
The second problem is a continuous clicking noise in my engine. I got it checked out by a mechanic and he told me that it's because i use cheap gas in the car that would make the engine click, yet i always buy Silver gas. Could u help me out on that one as well? Thank you i greatly appreciate you help.

Answer
For your gas, what octane is Silver gas? It is recommended to use 91 octane. If it's knocking it could very well be the valve clearance is off, that is a common occurrence with the RSX as it uses a mechanical valve system. You should ask Acura to hook up an obd2 reader and see if there is any knocking detected that could be a bad sign.

For your ABS brakes it could either be the sensor malfunctioning or your routers need to be machined as they are probably hitting the pads in a pulsing motion causing the sensor to think that the ABS is working.

If there is anything else please ask,

Thank you,
Daniel
