My '93 del Sol's speedometer hasnt been reading right. I checked the speed sensor and found that the harness plug that goes to it is cut off and the three wires are just shoved into the sensor. I checked the junkyard and the only one that didnt have the plug cut off was an automatic trans.

Are the manual and automatics the same?

 

bump

 

the plugs for the vss are interchangeable, what trans it had in it doesn't matter. hell i have a 95 civic electronic speed sensor in my b18b engine using the plug from the donor cars harness, which was an automatic.

 

yes, just find one that fits the plug.

I had to change mine once, and I just cut a 3 prong plug that looked like it matched off an old accord.

 

Alright, thanks for the help guys.

 

<U>UPDATE</U>


Well I got a plug off some Accord and a new sensor off an automatic Civic. The wire colors are different between the Accord and Del Sol. The Accord has yellow orange and black, while the sol has yellow/white stripe, yellow/blue stripe, and black. I tried different combos for wiring and the gauge still doesnt read. Is there a way to test the wires in the harness to see if theyre still good or for any breaks besides manually cutting apart and checking the harness? I do have a multimeter.

 

use this to wire it up. pay attention to the orientation of the plug and then what each wire does, and just ignore the color of the wires.
