Guys, please help me out, i think speed sensor went on my b16? if there isn't a speed sensor, what could the problem be, if there is a speed sensor, where is it located, my speedo is not working and my vtec is in reservation mode. please help me out thx guys....

 

Im not even a B-series owner but I remember reading that without your speedo cable hooked up, VTEC wont engage. Did you check that your speedo cable is still in the tranny yet?

 

i don't even know where to start looking that's the thing..
i mean, i'm tottaly lost right now, sorry.....
where would i see this cable coming from?

 

look down below the in fuel line(to the fuel rail) about 6-8inches and there will be 3 lines coming out of tran 2 get plugged the other will be your speedo input. it will be a thiiner cable w/a boot around it that should be in it

 

Well first off what motor do you have, that would help so we could know if you are talking about manual or electronic speed sensor. If it's manual it could have popped out or the clip might not be in.

 

i have a b16 motor, with y1 tranny, non-lsd

-> so if its a clip or its just loose than i can just re-attach on the tranny right?
cuz i know the speedo on my cluster should still be in tact, and my vtec is in reservation mode.

hm.3 wires, i'll check in the morning..manual, cable tranny.

 

I was in a very similar situation about a month ago while i was doing my swap, do a search for it, someone replied to my post about it with very detailed instructions and pictures

if you got your B16 and havn't changed the speed sensor, you will have to change it to a manual (assuming you are using your stock guages), i forget which car it comes out of, but it is very easy to change, it is literally 1 bolt and you can pull it out, then you plug your speedo cable into the new manual sensor

 

i have a b16 but s1 tranny. my speedo cable sits down in there so tight you dont even need the little clip-the only way it would come out is if you grabbed it out-my buddy's rex is the same way. just make sure the boot stays over the tran

 

so if you dont have a electronic VSS running(assuming u are using a JDM cluster) to your ECU....vtec won't engage?

 

i don't know what happened, i have a 90 civic si h/b, and i had the b16 swap for a while now, and i went to upgrade all my grounds to 4 awg and than my speedo just stopped working, so i dont' know wha thpapend, i didn't even get to finish doing all my grounds, i only did one, the battery to the chassis. and went to see if it worked and it did, took for a spin, speedo wasn't working...
