Any good NSX mechanics in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles County, Calif?

[rtb]

I'm trying to help a friend get his low mileage 91 NSX running...he is the original owner of this car and has not started it in maybe a year...he has too many cars and too many projects...poor guy. I have had a couple myself but it has been many years. Anyway, he is able to get it to run for only a moment by squirting gas into a vacuum line in the intake. He thinks it maybe the fuel pump but does not want to replace it if there might be a more simple fix.

If you have any ideas of things to check, that would be a big help. Or does anyone know of a knowledgeable mechanic in the general area, we would appreciate the info.

I'd like to talk him out of the car but that's another story...

Thanks...Terry

Thanks drew, CKS Papa and LMR. That other thread link helped. My friend lives in Chatsworth.

Terry,

I think the chances that it is a fuel pump is remote. A much better bet is a gummed up throttle body from the lack of running. There's a REALLY good private shop in Chatsworth - Specialty Z. Obviously, they specialize in Z cars but the two owners are as competent and honest as the day is long. I don't say that easily. Call Sebastian or Greg (co-owners) if you haven't found anybody and see if they can help. Maybe the can, maybe not - but I guarantee you will enjoy to meet either one of these guys as they have their act together. Tell them Kendall sent you.

I met them because all that we do now is the Ford GT. Greg and Sebastian have a dyno that they let us use and as recently as Friday, we had 6 Ford GT's over there. Very quality people - I can't say enough.

It sounds like the main relay. When trying to start the car try tapping on the very middle of the upper rear panel behind the seats. If you need any help we will be here
