I have a 1990 honda accord with 83000 miles on it. I noticed 2 days ago that while driving at any speed the speedometer will read the speed and then all of a sudden drop off then bounce back up to the speed I am traveling. I hope anyone can give me a clue on what this may be, and what kind of price range I may be looking at if anyone may know. Thanks for your help, oh and sorry if this has already been posted I am new to this site and I am loving it so far thanks again

 

Assuming no CEL and cruise works, the cluster's speedo is bad. You'll want to replace the green circuit board on the back of the speedo.

 

The cruise works or at least the last time I used the cruise it worked I will need to check that. what is cel, and do I just buy the curciut board for the back of the cluster or do I have to get the whole cluster sorry for the silly questions tring to figureout the abreveations. thanks

 

Check Engine Light

Whole new cluster is easiest, just get it from ebay or junkyard and take it apart for the speedo part.

 

Thanks I will check into that. No light so must be the cluster

 

Yeah it's what I self diagnosed with my Accord when my speedo would randomly flutter and die.

I replaced the VSS thinking it was that, however my cruise worked and no CEL. Trouble shooting from that I went to the cluster.

Not wanting to change the mileage on the car I played around with it til I found the green circuit board is removable. Swapped the known working one on my car and no problems since.
