IS YOUR SENSOR, RIGHT BELOW THE THROTTLE BODY ON THE TRANNY, CHECK TO SEE IF IS HOOKED UP, IF IT IS, REPLACE THE SENSOR, I HAVE ALOT OF THEM FOR SALE... CHECK IT OUT...

EX-T

a couple of things for ya...

1) check the ground on your Thermostat Housing
2) unplug you VSS and look at the pins on the inside of the harness side plug
3) take the cluster back b/c that's not your problem
4) tell me what year, make and model your car is

its ******* bullshit, my VSS is broken, buy another functioning one (the owner was USING it right before me) and it doesn't work. then i try my boy dave's VSS and it doesn't work, when we go to put it back in his car, HIS doesn't work. after ******* around all this time, i drive home and it starts working for me, but only for about 10 minutes before the code starts pulling up again and i can't see my mph.

now i gotta pay for 2 VSS's and make sure both run right

Mine does this as well. I only get the code every once and a while and my speedo will work probably 2-3 times a day when I'm driving. It all started happening after I got my clutch done. Never tried to put a new VSS in though so iono.

check the 3 wires on the top of the plug , make sure there in and there getting a connection

thenick

ok so it started working on the way to the mechanic...........we shall patiently await his conclusion

Ditdogs

so.... im about to go to the mechanic to pick up my car after he did nothing to it... LOL sooooo anyway, on the way to the mechanic it started to bounce around like if there was an electrical problem... i have a feeling it might be the connection on the harness side... i might juist go buy some pigtails and ghetto-rig it to the vss and see if it works...

Ditdogs

it still doesnt work... i took the harness senser off and cleaned the ****... cleaned the senser on the vss side... and still nothing... checked all ground and still nothing... thenick and i are faqing stumped... this should of been a simple thing, a plug and play thing... but it isnt.. i see alot of people haveing this same problem where they change evrything and it still is faqed up....

anyone with any info on what to do please post. thank you

boostedcivicsir

i had a gsr swap i did with the same problem. the harness had 2 bad pins. make sure the connector is clean.

I had a similar issue. Check fuse # 15 under your dash on the drivers side and read this post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=847452 after all was said and done it turned out to be a stupid fuse...(thank god)

Evs-One

I had a couple problems like this.

One was a 98 ITR, the fuse was blown. Alt/Sp fuse.

But most commonly, the connections get really corroded. Either repin them, or clean them off really good.

Ditdogs

ya i think i might just get some pigtails and repin the vss.... *cry

if that doesnt work then... more..

thenick

(misfits chords) die die, die my VSS, i'll be seeing you in hell

<FONT SIZE="6"> replace your backup fuse!!!!!!!!</FONT>

mine works now

this backup fuse is signature worthy!

EX-T

back up fuse? i know there's a fuse for it but i didn't know there was a back up

thenick

the back up fuse is the fuse you remove under the hood to reset the ECU......NOT , i repeat, NOT to be confused with the ECU fuse
