Default 96 Accord from NC!

Hi guys, i'm new to Honda's but this one seems to be a good one!

96 Accord 2.2 VTEC
123k miles
Black, EX edition, all power options
Good looking car!

Only a few problems so far, it wants to crank real slowly if I haven't drove it in a day or so, and I think the gauge cluster is broke because I can't get the speedometer, odometer, or trip meter to work, but overall I love the car! Excited to be a part of the forum!

Welcome to HAF

What part of NC?

I'll give a few starer questions for you....for more post in the General Tech section.

Have the battery tested....slow crank.

Does the cruise work, is the CEL coming on - On these, either the VSS or the PCB on the back of the speedo will cause issues. If the cruise does not work or the CEL gives you a VSS code........if the cruise works and no CEL......

Thanks for joining.

Welcome I'm from NC too.

The Speedo is a fairly cheap and easy fix whether its the vss or the cluster itself.

A lot of times you can just solder the joints again to fix it if you are comfortable doing that. If not you can buy used clusters on ebay for $80-100. A lot of the sellers can roll the mileage to match yours.
