First let me say one of the reasons I bought this car, besides the obvious, was this web site. Lud is incredible, and the NSX community is unlike any other car group I know of! I've lurked here quite a while learning many things about my "mistress", the wife's knick name for the car.
My 92 with 84K has been running the ABS pump progressively more and more on start up. I had MB flush the system, which seemed to help for a while. I travel a lot, so the car sits for a week or two in between drives. Lately, after start up, the pump has cycled on and off every 5 min or so unless you engage the ABS. Once engaged, it quits and is good for the rest of the weekend, maybe two. I figured this was a sticky solenoid, so I decided I would try DanO's excellent ABS solenoid work out. Before starting the procedure I noticed a few "shiny bits" in the reservoir. (Can't be a good sign?) Sucked all those out, put new fluid in and worked the solenoids, didn't have the T-handle to do the complete flush. After I finished, went out and "exercised" it. When topping off the fluid, I saw the same type of bits back in the reservoir, and it hasn't improved much.
Do I need to be looking for an ABS pump, or should I just do the complete procedure again? Anyone else who's done this seen the same thing? TIA
