This is my first post ever.
I just purchased a 2000 Acura NSX-T with 72k and some aftermarket rims
Chip Foose Speedsters.
18x8 Front 225/35/18
19x10 Back 275/30/19
After having the car for 2 weeks, the car started responding different.
other misc things I noticed of course maybe someone out there can help me.
1. The car is equipped with a after market Alpine with a subwoofer. Could this be draining my battery? I noticed sometime the car doesn't want to start, but also I have a T3 key and not the orginal key. the dealrship I purchased it from did not have any other key besides this one.
2. It now drives different. I have to rest my foot on the gas pedal and if I apply slight gas the car vibrates alot like almost some sort of studdering coming from the engine. also it seems like I lost alot of power to the vehicle. If I apply the gas and while it vibrates or shakes then for example in 2nd gear and the rpm is about 3 1/2 or close to 4 the power kicks in normal out of now where. No engine light and also I tried driving with the TCS off and still the car responded the same.
3. I contacted Acura of Monclair, CA and asked is there a FOB I can purchase they told me that this particular year is not equipped to use a FOB. Is this inaccurate? why the heck would they skip a year?
4. Is there suppose to be a cover or a switch over the OBD2 connection. Mine is exposed?
I rather inherit car problems than someones past relationship issues.
- I did make an appointment for Monday with Acura of Riverside to check out the problems, but maybe someone out there can give me an insight of why the vechile is respond like that. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
