Allright ill check that out thanks.

yea i read the previous posts and they did say it was common for 94-97 but I have a 2001. It only happens for like 5 min when i first start driving. Also ive noticed when I park the car outside in the heat it messes up and when its in the garage and sort of cool it works fine. same for cold weather too. is that related or is that a common missunderstandingation of the problem as to why it gets sticky?

 

What does the ground look like?

 

Wat??

Where can I find this?

 

should be around the gas tank i believe...

 

well we reheated all the solder joints we could find and lo and behold the speedometer and the odometer work!!!! the rpms/tach were still a little jumpy on the drive home, but it hasn't completely stopped working again like it has before.
Anyone know another possible reason that the rpm's would be a little jumpy?
it's a V6 and i'm not sure where it draws the source from.

 

put your year model, etc of accord in your signature.

 

sorry about that, it's a 97 accord 6 cyl EX

 

I had the same problem. I changed my VSS yesterday and now everything works normally. Just to let you know it kinda right under the intake manifold, it took me a good half hour to find it. I have a 1997 LX.

 

i have a 94 accord 5 speed and the speedometer died a few yrs ago. it was repaired but worked temporarily. mechanics have said its common for that year. does anyone know the conversion from mph to rpm? i know approximately what it is for 65-70 mph
