Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil leaks

Older Acura NSX models, including the 1992 model, are prone to oil leaks from valve cover gaskets, oil pan gaskets, and camshaft seals due to aging and wear.

Timing belt wear

The C30A1 engine uses a timing belt which needs regular replacement (every 60,000-90,000 miles) to prevent catastrophic engine damage if it fails.

Cooling system issues

The cooling system can develop leaks or blockages, leading to overheating problems. Radiator and water pump failures are relatively common in older vehicles.

Ignition system problems

Misfires or ignition issues can occur due to aging spark plugs, ignition coils, or distributor components.

Fuel injector clogs

Over time, fuel injectors can become clogged, leading to poor engine performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and rough idling.

Vacuum leaks

Vacuum hoses can deteriorate and develop leaks, causing erratic engine behavior and poor performance.

Sensor failures

The engine relies on various sensors (oxygen sensors, MAF sensor, etc.) that can fail and cause issues with the engine's performance and fuel efficiency.

Exhaust manifold cracks

The exhaust manifold can develop cracks over time, leading to exhaust leaks, increased noise, and reduced performance.

Egr valve issues

The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve can become clogged or malfunction, leading to increased emissions and potential engine performance issues.
