So i have code 17 flashing so my speedometer isnt working at all and my vtec isnt working at all.....would the Vehicle Speed Sensor make my VTEC not work???

 

yes.
vtec requires, engine rpm, oil pressure, ect ect and vehicle speed.
good luck

 

awesome!!! thanks for the advice Ryan C, you answered like all my questions within like an hour! thats badass......ok, so this is what i did....i took out the blower motor and evaporater or what ever that thing under the passenger side dash.....i tried to take out the heater core and stuff but couldnt find the bolts....thats all i did, and now the VSS is messed up.....where is that line or wires or whatever??? cuase i messed them up obviously!

Actually, more than likely, all the messing around that was done with the heater core pulled the cable from the speedometer itself.

There is no cable on the speedometer, its all electronic. Your vtec should still work if your vss isn't working as well. Vtec is activated by a pre determined rpm, and vehicle load. I recently had a problem with my VSS plug on top of my tranny, and it was getting a bad connection. After a while of the speedo not working(3-4 min.) it threw a vss cel. The vtec activation worked fine during the vss cel. Check your harness by your vss and vtec pressure switch for a bad ground or damaged/loose wiring. Hopes this helps some.

 

yea, im not worried about it now....i was just going to rag it out one last time but owell....the engine is being pulled out right now....ill look at it then.....thanks for the help....but why would the vtec and speedometer go out at exactly the same time??? i dont even know what wires to check!!!!! under the dash is all i can think of and i dont know exactly which wires are which....

 

you should think about getting a helms manual for your car, itll help you a lot with figuring out where to look for when you have problems..... it did for me.

 

yea, i have a haynes manual but its wierd.....cause i have one for the engine i have not my CRX ....i wish they made a haynes manaul for a obd0 B16 in a CRX...lol

 

I had the same question, now my computer doesnt only throw that code (17) it also throwes code 23(knock sensor)..i have a 92 civic swapped with a jdm b16a, the wiring harness and ecu are both from a 95 del sol vtec. Do any of these cause my vtec not to work? i also replaced my knock sensor which in fact was messed up, i disconnected the neg side of the battery, but it still throwes the same codes and my vtec wont engage, what else can i do? i check vtec solenoid, oil, and everything..??

 

stop stealing my thread *******...haha...jk
