Default 2 step problem

So when I bought my car I didn't know it was equipped with a 2 step setup because it wasn't running right. Well now it is and and the 2 step seems to be kicking in when I am driving. What I am wondering is, is there anyway to shut the damn thing off or remove it, or something.
It is a 1990 Civic sedan with a 1999 D16Y8 swap running a p28 ecu obd0-0bd1. That is all i pretty much know about it.

is your speedo working? the two step works off the vss so if the vss isnt reading correctly the ecu is thinking the car is in fact under the speed limit its set for. so make sure your vss is working properly and check your connections to your vss and make sure everything is working properly.

So, I swapped my gauges earlier along with electronic vss instead of cable, and it seems to have solved the problem. Going to do a little more testing to check.
