I have finished a swap and now i have no v-tec...? My speedometer is not working and the speed sensor is plugged in and snug. Any ideas what it could be?? Its a B16a obd1 JDM motor into a obd2 99EK hatch...with a obd2-1 conversion harness?

too many factors.. wiring, oil pressure, vtec selonoid, pressure switch, any sensor that is needed to activate vtec. just start checking them one by one

was your speedometer working before, if so you prolly need a new VSS

Hatchman98

well the guy that had the car b4 me had a gsr in it and the speedometer worked so ill try replacing the VSS... and see if that works.. thanks

see if you can use the one off of your old motor

fix your vss and your vtak should work

i don't know if d's work with B's it was just a suggestion before you go buy one, if you have a friend with a civic try swapping them out, then you will know for sure before you buy anything

I have seen a fuse blew and the vss will not work.. .. check that also in the event a new vss doesnt work .

Katman

yes, a 92+ D-series VSS will work on a B-series engine.

ALso, what wire harness are you using for the swap and have you made necessary mods to it if its a non-vtec harness?
