Hi Everyone,
Instead of everyone arguing about NSX values, NSX-R's, Tamoske, or Yaynsx, how about everyone takes a stab at trying to figure out what's happening with my car?
Here's the deal. There are 2 main issues:
#1.
I keep getting this intermittent TCS issue where in 2nd gear at 3,000rpms the engine cuts off, car shakes violently, I can hear a electronic clicking noise behind my head where the TCS box is, and the car limps into safe mode. If I glide in neutral still rolling and re-start the car and put her into gear the problem goes away. Now as per the usual NSX Prime advice everyone tells me to run the error codes following the instructions on the site (WIKI). I can't for the life of me short the Blue Service Plug located underneath the passenger footwell using a paperclip (I even switched paperclips). How the heck can I do this without taking the car back to Honda?
People keep telling me its an 02 sensor, ignition has gone bad (yet it starts), and it went away for a while when I disconnected the TCS (top connector on TCS box still leaving large connector attached in the TCS box) but it has since come back. I keep hearing intermittent electrical clicking noises coming from that TCS box behind my head while I'm driving so I'm at a loss as to what the heck is happening. Does anyone else get a electrical clicking noise from behind the drivers seat?
Last time Honda ran the error codes they said the problem was my TCS wiring harness and it needs to be replaced? But this morning I started the car and she ran up to 1200rpm and then slowly died. Started her up again and she did the same thing. Started her a third time and she ran flawlessly all day and night long. First time this has ever happened.
I'm determined to figure out what's happening to my baby and would appreciate all comments and suggestions. I think I should leave her at Honda but again they will tell me the wiring harness needs to be replaced and I'm not so sure about that as no one from Prime has suggested it.
#2. When the car sits idling at the lights the A/C doesn't blow cold and the cars air starts to get warm. When I drive off the car suddenly starts to get cold air but not as cold as I'd like it. I'm still running R12 and think its time to upgrade to R134. Could this be the A/C Circuit Board? Also, the car actually blows colder when the A/C isn't on but it still sucks! Suggestions?
Thanks for reading!
