Hi all,
I'm fairly new to the NSX and have a '96 year car. 3.0l Targa/Manual with 50K mls
When I drive the car normally, accelerate smoothly and progressively it runs without fault, revving to the red line no problem....
When I drive it a bit harder and accelerate more quickly, or floor it, I seems to be getting a stutter as the engine builds up the revs. It momemtarily cuts(causing the car and me to jolt) and then continues to accelerate. Sometimes when flooring it, it will drive through one gear no problem then when I change gear and continue to accelerate, the stutter/cut will be in the next gear....
It can happen at any revs, it's only during harder acceleration. I get the same problem with the TCS switched on or off. I have noticed a clicking behind me which may be the TCS relay? This clicking seems to be an on/off clicking in sympathy with when I get on and off the throttle.
I checked the main relay and resoldered all the connections just in case but this didn't stop the problem.......
If I really boot the car, on a couple of occasions, I have ended up getting the engine & TCS light coming on.......switching off/on the ignition gets the lights back off.
The wheels/tyres are standard sizes, still OEM wheels fitted.
The valve clearances. coil packs, plugs etc have been checked by the dealer/previous owner.
It had been suggested that it may be a throttle body problem......
The car is right hand drive and I'm not sure where the code plug for bridging is located.
Just wondered if anyone had any similar experiences/advice or fixes
Cheers,
Haga
