Okay finally got me some temps this thursday but due to the sucky weather here in NYC I havent really gotten to go full throttle on the car as of yet. However I did notice that although the car pulls like **** I was getting the ole rev cutoff at 6500rpms.. Checked the CEL code and saw that it read 17. Now I have a CX, but the Speed gauge wasnt working when i bought the car. I recently bought a new EX gauge cluster however again the speed gauge isnt reading anything.. Does the Civic have some special wires somewhere that i am not seeing to hook up the speed gauge. I think that is the reason why I am getting the Vehicle Speed Sensor code also which in turn keeps me in safe mode... Now I noticed that on the back on the EX civic cluster there is a blue port for another connection however I didnt see anything in the dash harness to match it up to..

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 

get a new speed sensor or check and see if yours is plugged up. its on top of the tranny if you are having trouble finding it. if you have to buy a new one i will tell you that its not cheap. mine was $104 and that was at my employee price.

 

Its not the speed sensor on the tranny because the old gauge wasnt working when I had the stock civic engine in the car.. Something else is up??
