it's in the housing at the end of the upper radiator hose (opposite end from the radiator) (upper hose is actually the hose the attaches to the bottom of the radiator)

you should be able to look at the housing and figure out which bolts to remove... it's really straightforward

i hear if you take the solenoid off and fill it with windshield washer fluid, your whole engine will be cleaner during VTEC

20WHP gain!

also, make sure your alternator fluid isn't low.

damn you! i was going to say something about the alternator...oh well i guess ill have to recommend him changing the acid in his battery... i think its not getting enough power throughout his setup.

Oh no wait!? The NSX doesnt have a battery.... or does it?
