We just but a b16 in a 90 crx dx and took it for a test run and the speedometer was not working. Because the speedo was not working, I didn't expect vtec to work either but it does. I've double checked the cable going into the tranny and it seems to be in there snug. We are not throwing the VSS code either. Your thoughts???

 

do you have the cable all the way in, theres a slot that you have to line up to put it all the way in, and I'm pretty sure you dont need the speedometer to hit vtec on 4th gens

 

cable is all the way in. I have vtec. I start seeing the speedo working when Im doing about 60-70mph but it only reads as if Im going 10mph. I'll take it up to around 80mph and it will read 30mph. I checked the blue wire on the dizzy and its pushed in. What else should I be looking at.

 

i got a quetion speedo dont work would vtec work?

 

some times the read mount does not let cable go all the way in or check the part on the trany where the calbe plugs in to, it may not be good, ur cable need to be change.

 

problem solve it was the cable connector it was rotted . took 2 from the junk yard

LoL. No doubt.

Here at PIR it's $20 to race all night!

Sucks to hear about that ticket. That's a lot of money.

 

where do you plug the speedo cable in on the b16?

 

bump....

 

God DAMN that's what I bought my car for!!!!!!!!!!!!!111one

 

speedometer and v-tec is a complete different thing . . the speedometer is being controlled by the VSS ( Vehicle Speed Sensor ) which indicates what ur MPH/Kilometers wether the engine is electrical or cable, also if the clusters are cable or electrical, then v-tec ( Variable valve Timing Electronic Control lift ) is engine based which ignites when the engine reaches a certain RPM ( revolutions per minute )

ACTUALLY... In the newer cars, vtec depends on a few conditions. Not all of these are new, but besides the fact that it required a certain RPM, it now requires that the car be going faster than ~20 MPH, that oil pressure be good, that the car is warmed up, and that the throttle position is greater than around 80%. Just FYI. I guess in the old ones speed wasn't a requirement, but that's where he was coming from.
