It's not that bad, clearance is annoying to me but overall it's okay. I've have to change plugs on some "domestic" full size vans that were worse.

I notice that many times when I have used dye in A/C systems that when disconnecting the hoses after adding dye the dye tends to gather at the service ports making it seem like they are leaking. I hope he made sure.... I only use dye in last resort type of situations. It's messy and takes awhile...

If he's getting both codes assuming it's running lean it's a fuel delivery problem. I'd like to add to the possible faulty parts as well since nobody mentioned injector resistance pack. I've seen it before.

Check the brake switch before you take it anywhere, pretty common on Hondas. Any Master Honda/Acura tech should be plenty qualified to work on an NSX. It's not rocket science or anything....

Instead of pulling the switch apart you could just Ohm test for continuity. That would be easier and faster in my opinion.

You could have an intermittant failure or you just didn't meet the enabling critria for the DTC. The codes you have are usually "two trip" codes. You have to meet the enabling critia more than once. It sees a failure more than once on different trips. Wait a day or two and do it again...

Re: If the light bulb is good, but the low beam is still not working? What could it be? Better know what you are doing if you are going to check it, they run on very high voltage.

Yeah I agree, you shouldn't start adding refrig. until you figure out if it's even low.. I wouldn't use a sight glass to diagnose any A/C system, it's unreliable. Even more so in a R134a system. Most R134a systems don't even have a sight glass...

Not saying that this shop is bad but what exactly makes this guy better than a factory trained guy?? You also need to remember who are are talking to when calling a dealer, a service adviser knows nothing and is suppose to know nothing. He quotes prices and takes down infomation. The guy...

The book says it could be an O2 sensor problem OR a fuel suppy problem depending if you are or are not having a drivability problem which you are if it is missing... I doubt it's a faulty O2 sensor. It can make the ECU change fuel trim to a point, I don't think it would change it to the point...

Yeah you are correct Honda does include the t-belt and water pump replacement in the 90k. My customer's up to 3k now due to some oil leaks.... It all depends on the car and the shop it goes to, we are a Honda dealer in Nor Cal so it's about average..

It would help to know what on the test the car failed for.... Post your test sheet or post exactly what the readings are (HC@15mph=--)

It doesn't seem that bad to me, I'm working on a 91 now and his quote was 2100 for a 90k and t-belt package.
