Whas up Guys... I'm a newbie...I have a b16 jspec, when driving in V-tec speedometer goes crazy...Any idea what the problem is and what i should do???

If any one knows, help me.
Thank you, i relly appreciate it.

 

explaine crazy?

 

Well if i'm at 40mph it just jumps to 60 mph and back when i'm in second gear entering vtec at 5200 rmp and the in third from 80 mph it just jumps to a 100mph and back and keeps on bouncing back and forth.

 

I believe that happened to Paul Walker too at 120-140 in the Fast and the Furious.

Perfectly normal... XD


Check your speed sensor wire harness, coolant finds its way down in there along with other crap, and the pins rust away.

Vtec actually... look at any OEM Honda Vtec sticker. Not VTEC lmao.

The 120-140 in the fast and the furious... god that part killed me. Got me hooked for the rest of the movie haha.

Check your Vss sensor, unbolt it and clean it. Then put it back in.

 

oh yeah? Where?

 

Sticker smarty.

 

that aint no sticker.

 

My point exactly. ( Actually not every sticker, I correct myself )

 

only happens when your in vtec? or does this happen all the time?

 

he said it's when entering VEETAK

 

could be your speed sensor.... my car does the samething, just that mine will cut out and the speedometor wont read at all... Good luck...


"I live my life a quarter mile at a time!" hahahaa

 

Check your plugs, speed sensors almost never go bad, and the plug rusting issue is a VERY COMMON problem, happened to me and 3 of my friends so far, all failed because the blk/yel wire terminal rotted out.

 

Thanks for the help, i will plug the speed sensor out and clean it, but the check Engine light came on...So i think it's the speed sensor becuase now the speedometer does not work at all, so do i need a new speed sensor???

 

"Well there's your problem, you nearly blew the welds on your intake!"
-some jackass in FATF

x2 check for rust on the plugs

 

I Plugged out the speedsensor, there are no rust, i will clean it and put it back in, will the check engine light come on again??

 

what're we psychics?
put the friggin thing back on and find out yourself
wtf?

maybe you should rip apart the block and replace the piston rings... lol this is great

 

umm i doubt the it will come on again... and if it does just reset it but unpluging your positive wire on battery. this should be your resort... make sure you are doin all of this while your car is off... good luck

Well the VSS code is 17 - I've seen it too many times in the last week to forget it.

So go here:
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1901557

And check your CEL - see what it is.

If it's JUST a code 17 and you tried plugging it back in and putting dielectric grease in there 'n such and still no go, it's most likely your VSS.

If it's NOT a code 17...tell us what code(s) it is.

 

ur car is just that fast dude....
ahhh the power of vtec haha

 

in mine the problem was the cluster itself.. just replaced it and never happened again

 

Vtec, VTEC, V-tec, v-tec, or VTEC......****
