Hey crew,
Situation: 1991 NSX starts and drives happily. Car comes up to temp. At a stop light where the car sits at idle 1-2 minutes, press the accelerator to go and nothing happens. Franticly feather on/off the throttle to see what the heck and it finally decides to work like a gas pedal again. This happened once last year, and I blew it off as voodoo/phase of the moon, but now this season its happened 3 times. The last time it wouldn't come back so I turned off the car, restarted it and it still didn't work, but after 3-4 presses of the pedal it came back.
Also, after turning off the car at my destination, I could smell a hint of coolant when I got out. I recently replaced all the hoses, and am running the Prospeed Big Throttle Body and RDX injectors (for a couple years now), if that matters.
What gives? TPS sensor going out or adjement issue? I'm running fresh premium gas with no ethanol, so I don't think its that, and throttle comes back and always works when cold, so it shouldn't be the throttle cable.
Needless to say having the traffic behind you think you are going to move and you don't is not a good condition.
Anyone seen/heard of this before?
