Don't bother searching for any similar threads here. I'm sure those common issues/fixes don't apply to you.

Re: speedometer and odometer don't work
I had the same problem with my 1990 Accord DX. It also ran like crap (idling below 1,000 RPMs and would even stall occasionally).
I went to my local junkyard, bought a Vehicle Speed Sensor (they're about $115 at the parts store, but I only paid $15 at the yard).
When I replaced it, I was pleased to see the odometer & speedometer working, but then quickly noticed the drastic improvement in engine performance - bonus!
Give that a shot, It'll probably work - just be VERY careful not to lose the tiny little spindle that's resting within the sensor, it can fall out very easily.

Re: speedometer and odometer don't work
I checked about that speed sensor. When I try to look up the sensor for a 91 accord dx, it adks me for which engine, and it goes on to list of different engine models which I have no clue which engine type I have. All I know is that its SHOC. So I wanna make sure I buy the right one
