Since winter is coming to Central Florida, on occasion I use my heater in the mornings. That said, when I cranked up the heat, it came on and would not shut down. The problem was diagnosed as a broken heater control. The cable was lifted on the blower motor and the valve was turned off to...

I have a 2000 NSX with about 78K miles on it. The car is a daily driver and I have owned it since 2004. My problem is that it is difficult to start the car. I get the dreaded click. Sometimes the starter engages on the first try, sometimes it takes 100 times to engage the starter motor. I...

The last three ignition switches I purchased had to be opened up and re-clocked. There was no way the switch would fit without changing the orientation by about 90 degrees. I wonder if the part is also used by a Honda for a different application. What else could cause this? Anyone have it happen...

My 2000 has the original brake caliper components. Since they are 20 years old, a rebuild is in the cards. Acura still shows that the rear rebuild kits are available. The fronts have been discontinued. Has anyone used aftermarket kits from Centric? Are there other kits available? Is anyone on...

This weekend I am going to rebuild my starter as the contact points are making it difficult to start the car. I have already cleaned the battery cable connections and changed the ignition switch. Does anyone have information as to the ground cable under the the engine? Can I use a simple...

I have a 2000 and am finely getting around to fixing all the little things I have put off. I just finished replacing the ignition switch after cleaning the original one too many times. I also had a split in my front bumper plastic welded and painted. Now I am on to fixing the heater/AC system...

I removed, repaired and installed my front bumper on my 2000 NSX. Thanks Mike for the video. Upon attaching the wheel skirt to the fender, I broke one of the plastic fasteners. The fastener pivots in place with a screw. There are three of them per side.They almost look like plastic half moons...

It's time to replace the rear tires on my 2000. The stock 245-40-17s are no longer available. Tire Rack has a set of Bridgestone Potenza -S- 02A 255-40-17s. They have a tread wear rating of 140 and are listed as replacements for Porsche. I know they are a size up from the stock size. Will they...

When driving my 2000, the power door locks open and close on their own. In a 15 minute drive, the locks will activate 3 to 4 times. I have the factory remote system with a Viper alarm that uses a transmitter to open/close the doors and arm and disarm the alarm. Once the car is parked and the...

I am trying to find a few barrel nuts that are used to secure the top of the air cleaner housing to the bottom of the housing. In the past, I used Honda Bond, JB Weld, silicon adhesive to hold the barrel nuts in place, nothing worked. I had the car serviced at my local dealer and they managed to...

This is an update to a problem I had. For the past year I got the dreaded click when starting the car. I did the usual fixes. I changed the battery cable, changed the battery, installed a new ignition switch and rebuilt the solenoid in the starter. The click was less frequent, but still happened...

Check engine light shows P-1607 which is Power Control Module or Engine Control Module. My 2000 with 60K miles will only run for a few minutes before it completely stalls out. It stalled out four times on the 6 mile trip trip from my office to my home. The car has a new battery and a new ground...

Last night I was watching This Old House and the crew was looking over a house in Concord, Mass. The homeowner was showing Norm his garage/workshop and parked next to a number of woodworking tools was a red NSX. The car looked like it was just driven because it was wet from the rain. Anyone...
