    Engine dies immediately after starting. Apparently caused by TPS.

    Today, I was having a problem starting my car. More specifically, I was having a problem keeping it running. It would crank just fine, and the rpms would rise to 2000 or so, like normal, but it would immediately stall within 1 second. If I gave it some throttle, I could keep the engine running...

    need some help. i have been in an accident

    Or if they total it, you can have another project car... It was a grand cherokee. It was a glancing blow. I was going about 5mph, it was going about 30mph. Her driver door/fender joint right into the middle of the bumper. I will definitely keep that offer in mind.

    need some help. i have been in an accident

    The thin top part in bent but I can't see any damage down low right now. - - - Updated - - - The one picture I got of under the hood. The hood actually still latches (kinda) right, so that's a decent sign.

    need some help. i have been in an accident

    I was in an accident in Atlanta, GA about an hour ago. Nobody is hurt, except the nsx. Front end damage. Doesn't appear to have any structural damage. Just hood bumper fenders lights, radiator support. The accident was not my fault and the other woman has insurance. I need to know a good place...

    How easy to remove cats?

    Remove the right-rear wheel if you need a little bit more room to work.

    To short?

    I have the comptech fore/aft and side/side short shift pieces and the short stalk with a heavy type-r knockoff style knob. It's pretty short, maybe too short for some people, but it feels great to me. Getting into reverse felt a little bit stiff at first but it's not that bad now.

    exhaust stuck to cats

    Try spraying some penetrant on the stuck part. Something like PB Blaster might help. If not, maybe heat would do it.

    Is there such a thing as the "BEST" exhaust for 2002+ NSX's?

    From what I understand, the GTLW only drones with stock exhaust manifolds or catalytic converters. Mine is with Taitec test pipes and Cantrell headers and there is no drone. Someone has also claimed that removing the engine cover silences the droning. Not sure about the engine cover but the...

    Screeching sound from 6-8

    I believe the parts were about $150 total from Delray Acura. The pulley is $70!

    Screeching sound from 6-8

    Check your a/c idle pulley. Mine was squealing like this about a year ago. I tightened the belt a little bit and that helped for a few days, until the pulley seized up and ripped itself off the car!:eek::mad: The pulley broke off a couple of fasteners and the a/c belt got caught in the...

    DIY: the S2000 glovebox mod

    This looks really neat. I considered trying this a while back but wasn't really sure how to make it work. If this turns out well, I may give it a try. I built a new glovebox that is a good bit bigger than stock but I can never have too much storage space in this car.

    I'm too old becouse its too loud

    After a year of gtlw with headers and test pipes, my perspective of what "loud" means has changed a bit. :biggrin:

    WTB '91 tow hook cover and passenger side blinker assembly

    Hit a tire (I think) on the interstate last night and lost my tow hook cover and the passenger's side blinker/running light assembly got cracked. I have paint so the color of the tow hook cover does not matter.
