Great...thanks for this posting

I replaced one of the original Acura style spring action clamps with a screw on type clamp and all is dry. Thanks to all of you for your guidance.

Thanks fellows for these two not so obvious reasons for the heater pipe leaks. Thinking back on the hose removal/installation process, I suppose that I could have scratched the copper pipes with my exacto knife. I do not recall have much difficulty removing these two clamps, but I have thought...

I replaced all the coolant/heater hoses plus the thermostat on my 1996 NSX. All is dry, except the two heater hoses up front. The leaks are coming from the ends that attach to the brass pipes that penetrate the firewall. I have tried realignment of the hose clamps and hose pushing and shoving...

Frank Irvine at Strutwise does good work. He did my rear window struts in 2006 and my truck lid struts in 2010. Call him toll free for an estimate 888 589 1208

It is a long shot, but Sears makes a Craftsman Rethreading Set. It is used to repair damaged bolts and nuts.

I have no info on the specifics of Australian NSX's vs others in the world. I do have a USA spec 1996 NSX and it only has two O2 sensors. The OBD II connector is located under and to the left of the glove box. There is a small plastic cover plate that must be removed to access the pin connector.

You should be seeing a long and short codes. From my read of your message, you indicating that you see only short codes. For more details see: "DYI" section of the FAQ. http://www.nsxprime.com/wiki/NSXWiki:FAQ_Migration Under "The Basics" You'll see a link titled "Retrieving Trouble Codes...

Re: Dealer did valve adjustment and valve cover gaskets. Oil still leaks. Since there was an oil leak both times after the valve cover gaskets were replaced with new parts after service, I suspect that the sealing surfaces on the heads and/or the valve covers are the source of the leak. I...

You are reading the blinking lights correctly and transferring that count to a malfunction code. The Check Engine Light (CEL) is the most important. The Traction Control Light only comes on with certain CEL lights. See page 6-12 of the Service Manual for more info and the codes. If you have...

see page 20-57 of the 1991 service manual for a description of the removal of the gas door open button.

Captain J Man...I concur 100% with the advice to send your used/tired struts to Frank at Strutwise in BC Canada. His rebuilds are excellent, a lower cost then new struts, and the install is quick and easy (like in 5 mins).

fyi...there is a technical service bulletin (TSB 97-037) regarding a fault in the electronic power steering applicable to cars with VIN ranges thru JH4NA....VT000309 that may be applicable to your car.

Dear Batman: I just read your last post on Feb 26 as follows: "The thing is that my mis fire is intermittent and almost not apparent during idle. it's when I get under load." This is exactly the symptom that my 1996 NSX had before I replaced the one bad coil pak.

vsy05 is correct on the basic procedure to adjust the NSX headlight aim. Although I have adjusted my 1996 NSX headlights to the highest position they are still too low. Go to the Wiki link on the NSX Prime front page and search for the 1991 Service Manual; the headlight height adjustment...

As you only feel an intermittent misfire, I believe that it is only one coil pak that is misfiring. If you do not have an OBD code reader they are priced at about $60 dollars these days and are simple to use (Actron is a good brand). They can assist with diagnoses of your misfire and save $$.

I had the same intermittent mis-firing problem under load. Using my OBD2 code reader I was able to identify the misfiring cylinder #. I swapped the coil pak with the trouble code with a nearby coil pak and guess what...the problem jumped to the coil pak that was previously without an error...

The coil packs are NOT specific to a cylinder or banks of cylinder (ie- wire length, etc). I would swap the coil pac before investing in spark plugs as spark plugs seldom fail electrically.

Most likley a coil pac. If you have an OBD II code scanner, use it to find the missing cyclinder number. Then, I would switch the coil pac with the error code with another coil pac without an error code to see if the missing cyclinder error code number follows the coil pac change.

There is a recall notice on the electric steering electronics box. This box failed on my 1996 NSX in 2004. I was outside the recall time frame, but called the Acura region office. I offered to pay for the labor if they supplied the box at their cost. Acura agreed to my offer.

count me in too...I live in Milton and usually go for a drive Sat or Sun mornings in the area north of Milton.
