My speed sensor isn't working most likely, it works intermittently, i changed it three weeks ago and now it completely doesn't work. CAN I TEST THESE SENSORS ON SOMEONES CAR? I have a jdm b16a in a 98 ex. thanks

 

yeah I know b and d series speed sensors are the same.

find out what code you are throwing - probably for speed sensor - correct that whether it is connections or the sensor.

 

how would I find that out--most likely by hooking the car up to diagnostics i guess?

 

if you know anyone else with a 92-2000 civic or integra swap the speed sensor for a moment drive around the block and see.

 

pull the plug off of the speed sensor and spray electronic plug cleaner in there .. or get a flat head and just clean off the spades. I used to have the same issues on my B16 A .. Does the speedometer sometimes bounce even when you are at a stop. Mine used to do that. I replaced the speed sensor 3 times. My final fix was taking the cotter pin out, making sure the gear was ok, cleaning the plug inside and out (theres a little spring inside be careful not to lose it) and then just putting it all back up together!!

yeah, i disconnected it and jiggled the wires last night and its working on and off. i changed the sensor and it didnt fix the problem, ill try that spray and take it apart. yeah the spedometer jumps constantly.

 

Your adice on Cleaning the plug outlet is working so far...the spedo doesn't jump, check engine light is off, and VTEC works finally consistently. thanks
