First off, make sure that A and B relay case lids have not been interchanged and you are checking the wrong relays. On my 2000, the lids look identical; but, are not interchangeable because of some webbing added under one to the lids. I don't know whether early cars also have this non...

Something smells of fish. When the engine is out of the VTEC operation zone the fuel pump relay should not be energized so it should not be clicking, even if your vehicle 12 volt system is going screwy. If the relay is clicking when the engine is outside the VTEC operating range you have...

The service manual does not list a gauge calibration tool so I suspect that the tester is a factory calibration tool unavailable to everyone else. Prime member @Heineken built a complete gauge tester / calibration tool https://www.nsxprime.com/threads/gauge-cluster-tester-mark-ii.215445/...

You asked what the better repair option was. Assuming 'better' meant better quality repair, I think both a complete respray of the bumper cover and a blend which is feathering the paint out into the rest of the cover will give probably equal results when done by a skilled painter. I tend to...

Another victim of home wiring creativity.

I haven't checked the voltage at the battery terminals (too much hassle); but, last year or the year before I did a quick check on the jump start terminal with the engine running. I can't remember the exact number; but, it was definitely in the very high 14s. That works out for me because I...

I expect that the numbering difference is just a product packaging ID difference. Honda versus Acura on the label and a bilingual label for Canada. If you read the very fine print you will notice that the Acura package originates in the USA. It needs a different part number to reflect the...

Peugeot 207? Aside from the fact that this is an NSX forum, Peugeot stopped selling cars in North America in 1991. I don't think you are going to find anybody on a North American based forum for any car who can provide informed advice on a Peugeot.

If your glove box light started operating again when you spliced the left and right tail lights together, take a look at that diagram in post #2. Your problem is probably somewhere between connector C450 and the load side of fuse #38. Have you checked to see if your left and right front...

As noted, the fuel pump relay should not be energized until the engine is entering VTEC operation. If you have confirmed that it is the fuel pump relay that is clicking when the engine is out of VTEC operation then the relay is being momentarily switched on. The relay is switched on by the...

Fuse #38 supplies the instrument cluster lights and a whole bunch of other lights on the dash as well as the license plate lights and side marker lights as well as the right side tail lights (nothing to do with the brake lights or turn signals). Fiddling with fuse #38 may have disturbed...

I assume you mean relay box because there are no fuses in the box that holds the high and low radiator fan relays. You must have an early car because the later cars have no labels on the relay box lids. On the later cars you need the service manual or the Electrical Trouble Shooting manual...

Honcho's answer is correct / incorrect depending on the circumstances of your problem. If the ignition key is switched to the run position and the radiator fan is running with a cold engine, then he is likely correct that the Fan control unit is the problem; but, a failed temperature sensor...

I think those may be the wrong ignition coils. Note the A03 final number. They might be coils for a non OBD2 compliant car, specifically coils for a non North American car. Oz and New Zealand did not get mandatory OBD 2 until 2006 and it was somewhere between 1999 and 2006 before Japan...

Different problem, same agony because the dash is coming apart to access the HVAC. The up side is that if you can put up with no AC you can still drive the car. The low AC pressure switch should prevent the compressor from running; but, I would disconnect the clutch control wire just to be...
