Hey scotty love your videos man. My 2006 Acura TSX automatic has 160,000k miles, but no OBD II error codes at all. Has a strong transmission but believe its holding back a little. Maybe because she has some years on her right? Also, when I accelerate the gas pedal I hear a drone sound coming from the air filter, drone sound stops when foot is off the pedal.. what could that be? Again, love your videos man we need you out here! 


Believe the engine is holding back on me***

Start with the most basic things and work up from there. Make sure your filter is intact and your intake tubing is free from anything possibly clogging it. That's a weird sound for an intake to make so since your checking the intake I would also check the throttle body and clean it off it it looks dirty because that can cause it to stick. Might have your fuel pressure checked if you can't find anything wrong with the intake. And if you do that might as well have a mechanic scan it with a high quality scan tool. Whatever is wrong it can't hide from a quality scan tool and a good mechanic.
