The 2024 Acura TLX delivers sport sedan excellence with refined turbocharged engine options. When a P0304 code appears indicating a cylinder 4 misfire, understanding your specific configuration helps target effective diagnosis.
Understanding P0304 in Your TLX
The 2024 TLX offers the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder or Type S's 3.0L turbocharged V6. For the four-cylinder, cylinder 4 is at the rear of the engine. For the Type S V6, cylinder 4 is on the rear of the left bank. Both use individual coil-on-plug ignition.
New Model Considerations
Misfires on new 2024 models are uncommon and typically indicate manufacturing defects covered under warranty. The proven TLX platform has established reliability, and component failures on new vehicles are exceptions.
Diagnostic Steps
Identify your engine configuration. Access the cylinder 4 ignition coil. Inspect spark plug condition. Verify boost system integrity on both turbo engines. Check for software updates.
Resolution Path
Warranty coverage applies to 2024 models. Have your Acura dealer diagnose using factory equipment. Component failures causing P0304 should be covered under warranty.
