    Have you taken a look at Tire Rack? Usually lots of good info.

    Unobtanium spare parts

    OEM (1991) radios may be fixable. It would depend upon what is wrong. Heineken fixed mine just this year.

    Starting Oddity

    Guys, thanks for all of your suggestions. I did as instructed, including removing the idle screw and cleaning out its channel. Cleaning the EACV, throttle body, etc. In fact, I got quite facile at removing bolts and hoses. Wiring was a bit harder, but got all all of those apart and back...

    Thanks for the encouragement. I'll give it a shot. As for only two bolts, I keep remembering that Frankenstein's monster had only one bolt. Oh, you can get a Q-tip in if you peel off most of the cotton.

    Thanks Honcho. I've got my idle back, but looks like I still have the stalling problem. If it is the EACV screen problem, this may be beyond my hands' abilities to get to. I was able to do the throttle body spraying with the assistance of Q-tips, but haven't been able to figure out how to...

    Oh, I did not remove the idle adjusting screw. Manual Page ii-84. Can I just back it out and blow it out without removing the throttle body again?

    Picture please, if you can. At least I have plenty of cleaner left.

    Starting Oddity

    Well, that didn't work out so good. I took it apart the best I could, Sprayed everything the best I could. Put it back together the best I could - with no spare parts left over. It now seriously surges on idle between say 500 rpms and 1000 rpms. So, any idea what my "best I could" surely...

    Thanks for the encouragement. I'll pursue giving it a go myself. I do know what you mean about the number of NSX qualified mechanics getting small. The guy whom I've worked with, he is the one who did the original prep of the car in 1991, is grumpily retiring.

    Thanks. This one may be beyond me.

    Starting Oddity

    When I first start the car, it almost inevitably and immediately stalls right out after the 1st start. 2nd start usually holds, especially if I rev it. Reving after first start usually doesn't work. Sometimes it takes 3 tries. This has been happening for months, at least. Any ideas about...

    US Radio Head Unit (USDM 1991) - Repair

    Heineken did a great job. Works again and is not limited to Beethoven, Brahms, Bach, Strauss, etc.

    Another radio question

    I dug out an old Dillards cassette, stuck it in, and got a momentary (very momentary) blast of sound. After that, no go. Tried it again and couldn't get even the momentary sound. However, the cassette did forward/reverse etc. No Dillards. So sad.

    Another radio question

    Seek operates correctly. It stops at stations. I haven't yet dug out a cassette to try and I'll do that tomorrow. Down in the bowels of the basement. No CD player on this one. I do have soldering skills leftover from my Heath-Kit days, but I don't have the instruments needed to test...

    Another radio question

    Set the scene. A stock 1991 MT with door speakers already replaced. When I turn the radio on, everything lights up and the radio functions such as Seek etc work. The antenna goes up and down like a charm. But, and there is always a but, No Sound, at all. The volume knob elicits nothing...
