For now, I'm going to return this NSX temporarily to the owner so that he can take it to other place with commercial vehicle class tool that should be able to press out the seized drive shaft spindle.

I was trying to find some photos from my archive but couldn't find suitable one so will forward the ones that I found on the web to the owner on recommended method.

Disappointed but at the same time, I know my limit.







In the meantime, the back ordered 3rd brake light cable has arrived.


I don't have the mating connector for the aftermarket LED light yet (it came with ordinary spade terminal and not the OEM Sumitomo WPC one) so won't be able to install it but should have another delivery shortly so hoping to finish the installation when dealing with the drive shaft in the near future.




As this NSX is non-DBW model, warmed up the car and disconnected the EACV (CEL comes On) with electrical load coefficient enabled (head lights and rear defogger On) to check the base idle rpm.

Small adjustment made and the engine was running smoothly even at 550 – 600rpm so another very good example of washing the TH body thoroughly.
If your engine can't operate smoothly under this condition (for non-DBW model), you better wash your TH body or even go further and remove the EACV + fast idle valve and replace the filters.

Sealed the idle air adjust screw with liquid gasket.





Double checked the TH cable play and reset the ECU to re-learn the study coefficient values.





Another test driving, cool down, wash the car and quick blow dry followed by short distance driving to complete.


Thank you for using my service and apology for not being able to meet your demand on the drive shaft.
Hope it can be pressed out and back to my place shortly for the overhaul.


Regards,
Kaz
