i just put a turbo kit on my car over the weekend and now my speedometer doesnt work. so i though it would be the speed sensor but it wasnt because i took off the cap and it still turns and there is votage going to all the wires. now im throwing code 17 which wont let me boost past 4500rpm because i guess the injectors are related to the speedometer so it just cuts everything off like a rev limiter. has anyone every seen a gauge cluster just go bad please help with any ideas or info thanks

 

check your alternator sp fuse..have u messed with your o2 sensor lately?

 

ya i checked all my fuses under my dash and everything is ok and yes i extended my wires for my o2 sensor to reach my downpipe but i dont think that effected my speedometer because it was going up and down crazy for the past 2 weeks and now that im turbo it just stopped

 

the o2 does effect it. check to see if u have a short in the wires. when i extended mine one of the o2 wires was touching the frame of the car and stop my sppedometer from working. so a search under my name. theres a post about it.

 

thanks for info but thats not the problem with my speedometer i checked if there were any loose wires but there is none

 

im talking about the wires on the o2 sensor.

 

help bump vtec dosent some on as well now

any resolution???

 

Make sure you didin't get any fluids in the speedo sensor(water, anti-freeze, etc). I did a swap and there was moisture in the sensor, I got the same problems. I just blew air into the sensor to dry it out and that fixed it.
