Hello guys,

My name is Yuta and I live in Georgia Atlanta area. I just got a 1991 civic EF 4-Speed. I had a Del Sol before while I was in college, but I sold it after I messed it up. Back then I was not really a car guy because I didn't have my own place and tools to work on cars. Now I have my own places and I have tried many different vehicles and I realize the civic series is a real legend... I am amazed by the simplicity, the reliability, the handling, the potential of the engine, and the low cost of maintenance...

Well.. Here is a new problem with my EF I hope someone may be able to answer. As I was driving down the highway, the ECL came on and I noticed that the Speedo quit working. (It was working when I purchased it)...is the ECL related to the speedo? I have seen some vehicles with speedo cable removed but still would not trigger ECL..... I drove about 100miles on highway after this problem occurred....not a lot of feel in power loss, water temp remain the same... Will Autozone be able to read the code, considering this is an old vehicle with OBD-I (I guess) ?

Thanks in advance

 

Autozone will not be able to read the code. The check engine light will illuminate if you have speedo cable issues. I know because I had the cable pop out on me while cruising down the freeway in my 90 ED6 when i still had the D15B1 and the CEL illuminated immediately. I'd suggest checking the cable and behind the gauge cluster. good luck

 

Problem fixed. Cable pushed out. The plastic clip that secure cable end to meter was so flimsy...Thanks a lot mate.
