hey all my names alex, i recently bought a 98 civic coupe hx. the bodys in great condition and the interior is perfect but i just had a few questions about some problems i'm having.

- the first is my speedometer works on and off (basically every other time i drive the car) otherwise when i start it up the speedo jumps to 60 and stays there or just stays at 0.

- the second is im getting a code p0401 (the EGR)

otherwise the car runs great, my mods in the future are gonna be lowering it 2' and i think a magnaflow exhaust, does anybody have any feedback on that?

- Thanks, Alex

 

it could possibly be the sensor in the tranny, or a wire thats shorted out.... and u might just have to clean the egr, unless its completly shot

 

yeah i cleaned it earlier and reset the code it stayed off for a while and came back on=[ ty for the response

 

welcome


speed sensor deff.... try the junk yard its not in parts stores so from honda its pricey
egr sensor is pretty cheap auto zone common stuff no worries

 

it is probably shot then, i would go pick up another one

 

the reason why your speedometer might be doing that is because it might be that the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) might be going out or not in all the way into the tranny, or your cluster speedometer needle is messing up, my car was doing this and i replaced it and the problem went away. hope this helps.

 

dude before you mod anything get your self a nice *** alarm. and star to rig your car with a kill switch or two. will save you a world of ache once you go further down the road with your honda. hope this helps you in some way

 

yeah im planning on getting something since i hear hindas are easy as hell to steal or mess with, i also am looking at rota track r's my friend said there a knockoff of some expensive brand but i like the way they look. thanks for the input guys
