ivtec will not work if your speedo is not working. Make sure the plug is snapped in all the way, sometimes that's it. If it still is not working try swapping with another.

OK so I took out the speed sensor and it didn't look the same as the one Acura gave me part number 28820-pwr-013. I looked up tat part number up and it seem to me like its the crank.position sensor? Now i been searching for info and have heard/read tat the 02-04 speed sensor are different from the 05-06 cause of the low/high frequency, but do they differ in appearance as well? Where should the speed sensor b located on the 05-06 compare to the 02-04? Please help me out don't wanna find out that I have a different tranny or worse different/older motor as well

05-06 RSX has a completely different speed sensor so you cannot use one from a 02-04 RSX

02-04's use a mechanical vss driven off the the differential in the back of the trans. 05-06's use a magnetic vss with readings taken from 3rd gear i believe in front. they are not interchangeable and do not look the same.

you need part #28820-PWR-013. number 22 below.
