Common Faults

[mutley]

Hi All, how about we start a list of common/recurring faults for the NSX here, and also the solutions that we have all found.

I think I have had a few and managed to repair most so for, maybe usefull for "newbies" to the NSX family.

1. Internal door handle break, - new fix it thingy from Dali fitted.
2. Snap ring - new casing available, but I opted to fit new snap ring, from HUK (£3.50).
3. Slow windows, - re-grease runners?
4. pop-up head light wobble - Tighten securing nuts via wheel arch.

Well that's a start.

5. Window regulators- plastic clip breaks - replace with Dali fixits
6. Speaker amps break - replace capacitors


You know, this isn't going to be a long list.

Maybe not, but that's a good thing. It's just the usual things that people ask about, TCS and ABS faults, but I have no idea about them!!

7. Condensation in the rear light clusters - remove and drill a few small holes underneath.

8.Crank pulley failure on early cars irrespective of mileage. Age related failure. This will become more common over time it seems. £466 HUK

I spoke to my mechanic and he said that is not just the NSX that it was common on the early accords or legends. He said that it was nothing to worry about, just like the water pump, inspect and replace if nessesary. He is one of the first guys to deal with the NSX in the UK. He only remembers changing one, and they used to be one of a handful of NSX authorized dealers.

9. A/C HEATER UNIT - New caps required on pcb.
10. N/S wheel sensor = ABS/TCS lights.
11. O2 sensor = ECL and oftren TCS lights.
12. TCS Light - CEL code 3-4 (VRef Signal) - This usually relates to the main relay located on the rear bulkhead (near the TCS ECU). Either resolder the joints on the circuit board of the relay or replace the relay itself. This tends to affect early model cars.
13. Petrol Filler Flap not opening properly - Check\replace the small black (metal) spring near the hinge. Sometimes you can bend this back to make it more 'springy', P\N: 74494-SL0-000
14. Rear brake light bulb blowing and triggering the TCS and ABS lights - Replace bulb and then no problem!
15. Boot and engine cover gas struts that loose their effectiveness - refurb or new.
16. That little fan in the centre console by the ash tray that gets noisy after a while - take apart and clean.

hmm fan in the centre console.. Bloody darn it i have a rattle and always wondered what it was.

So what does it cool? or just the electrics?
