so I have taken the gauge cluster out numerous times before, I took it out to put in a new light and after it was back together after only about a block of driving the speedo stopped working. I can drive for about 5 min until the check engine light comes on but when I turn the engine off, the light turns off too, so I am having problems with the ecu led trouble codes. I thought the cable might be bad? I removed the gauge cluster and took it around the block to see if the pin in the cable spun, it doesn't. I thought it might be disconnected from the tranny but after checking, its still hooked up with the pin and doesn't pull out without removing the pin first. Is there something else I can check before having to replace the cable? could it be something other than the cable? I heard about a speed control sensor but can't find anything about it, is that a different gen integra? any help is appreciated.

 

The VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) could be bad. If standing on passenger side of car looking at distributor, go below dizzy and to the left. It is located on the transmission below the thermostat housing to the left.

 

the DA chassis didnt come with a vss they were cable driven.

 

Uhh yes it does. Its just not electronic.

OP: Here is a link to some info that might help you out in troubleshooting it.

im having the same prob i have a cable tranny that has been converted to hydro

 

so is the vss located by the place that the speedo cable goes into the tranny?

 

i have the same problem too. i was told it was a sensor or something. gotta check it out.

 

My tack and all other gauges were working, except the speedometer. Switched out the speedo sensor and works just fine

 

did you also own a 91? if so then im gonna do what you did and see if it works.

 

You can definitely get a speed sensor from the junk yard..That will be your best bet.

 

pull the cable out completely and make sure the original grease isnt all gunked up in the housing which will prevent it from spinning correctly.
