Idle Air Control System or TPS Sensor?
Guys-
My car started acting up after i installed a junkyard IAC thingy. I thought since my car idles from 1000-2000 rpms, it might have been a bad IAC. So me and my guy went to a junkyard and pulled one off. Since the new replacement, without a gasket, my car throws a CEL. It reads 7 then a long light then 7 again. Is this 14? Or 7? I replaced my TPS sensor too (i actually replaced the whole TB). It throws it (CEL) after my speedo doesn't work. When i first drive, and my speedos out, the CEL will come on. But if i start the car and drive, speedo working fine, no check engine light. WTF? Help please
Thanks.

That bad idle could have been the fast idle thermo control valve. See my post on how to check it in my '97 Accord.
I tried the junkyard IAC thing too. Fortunately, it didn't fukc my car up even more. But it didn't fix my idling problem, either.

thanks for the correct reading. I believe it might be my VSS because of the way its been acting up. Problem is, it'll work fine, then go out all of a sudden... bad connection?
