Scrounge around and you can find the 1997-05 electrical trouble shooting manual https://www.faxonautoliterature.com/1997-2005-Acura-NSX-Electrical-Troubleshooting-Manual-Original?srsltid=AfmBOordzNw33bN8DCrYOaKEa0DbmqW-d11GgJSMMp4DvvWDzG1v9FS3 However, all of these appear to be the later...

Winging it here since I don't have the thing in front of me. Based upon Heineken's recollection that the RPM signal is a 12 volt pulse, do the following: 1- Set CPL to DC coupling 2 - Connect the scope + test lead to the tach out point and the - test lead to chassis ground. 3 - For vertical...

I had a Honda gas lawnmower for 25+years and I have to admit I never had the urge or need to check the idle :). If you remain uncertain as to the RPM, you could purchase one of these hand held oscilloscopes or something like it. AliExpress / Amazon / Temu have a large selection of different...

I won't weigh in on your FIV / EACV question; but, can advise on your tach issue. The 328 EZ tach has a clamp sensor; but, looking at the pictures in the Amazon listing the clamp sensor looks like it might be an electric field sensor rather than an inductive sensor which is measuring current...

Congratulations,. I really like the original red / black and it looks to be in very nice shape. You auto crossed your Mom's car before that :)? I remember that the MR2 was kind of snappy on the back end. I had a co worker who trashed a very nice red late production turbo MR2 which was...

Helms became the authorized distributor / seller / producer of Honda / Acura service manuals for the retail market. Towards the end of the run on the NSX service manuals that they were selling they were not even bound. You needed to put them in a 3 ring binder. At least yours is bound...

That would be a project that could occupy you for a long period of time :) . I didn't spend a lot of time scrutinizing the S 2000 2006+ service manual; but, it kind of appears that the yaw and lateral acceleration sensors might be internal to the ABS controller. The steering angle sensor is...

I don't have any skin in this game because I have a 2000 with the later design ABS modulator. The wheel speed sensors are inductive style sensors which provide an output which is a little bit messy and require some conditioning to be usable by the electronics in the ABS (and the TCS). I...

Are you anticipating a high heat application??? You might be OK. I expect the permeability issue through the silicone is related to the size of the water and glycol molecules and the little wrigglers are much larger larger than a water molecule so the silicone might still be an effective...

My psychic powers are a little weak this am so you are going to have to tell us what your model year is. Pre and post drive by wire cars have significantly different systems. That said, on pre DBW cars the ABS control module sits right on top of the cruise control module. In order to...

Silicone hosing has its uses, particularly in high temperature applications. Just be aware that molded silicone hoses are much more permeable than EPDM which will result in faster coolant loss through the walls of the hose. This is generally not an issue for EPDM rubber molded hoses which are...

Did you not source the replacement from Acura or a trusted vendor like Amayama because OEM tanks are still listed as available. I have a Dali aluminum round tank on my car and fabricated a dipstick for checking the level. Its a piece of 1/4" diameter plastic rod with a tape mark for the...

That is your choice. Out of curiosity I checked out the Clutch Master website for details on their 8 puck design. It says the 8 puck is designed for street driven cars; but, then a little later it has this disclaimer *Ceramic based clutch disc are not intended to increase the life...

Looking forward to that.

One last kick at the cat! I had a Volvo 745 T that developed a reluctant neutral to first or reverse shift shortly after clutch replacement. Shifting in motion was OK. It was not bad when cold and got worse once the gear box warmed up. The clutch was new. The transmission and clutch was...
