code 17=vehicle speed sensor (vss) when u was driving did ur speedo work?
if not then there is ur problem it could have slipped out the gauge cluster or came out of the tranny and as far as the starting problem have u checked ur battery? can u jump it off with another car? could be starter, battery, altanator, fuse?? maybe

this just happened on my 91 crx si, check and see if your battery terminals are coroded or if they have lost contact with the battery another way. pot off both posi and negative and give them a good wire brush cleaning with some baking soda. thats all mine was and it sounds like the same problem
