Yeah to get it workin you gotta press the rightmost pedal, called the accelerator, it should climb steadily then.







Nah check out your speed sensor and the wiring, probably a frayed wire or it's loose.

first check all the wires behind the cluster, if that doesnt work replace the speedo sensor, if that doesnt work replace the cluster..... lol had the exact same thing happen to me

dont do that. go to the junk yard and pull one from a wreked car. then take it apart and remove the speedo. no need to replace the whole thing if the rest of it still works like it should. unless your going to do a sir cluster swap i guess

ya mine pretty much worked when it felt like it. some guy that totaled his car was parting it out and sold me his cluster for like 20 bucks, only difference now is i gotta take notes of the mileage that i put on the car

you can change the millage on the cluster to match your old one. just dont make it less then it should be.

If you've already swapped the cluster once and you have the same problems, I'd look at the vss and wiring now.

i got a dx cluster if u need another one but yes i have the same exact problem in my 94 ex but another thing u could try is remove the speed sensor and clean it i would try it but my motor isnt exactly in the car as of right now but i hear from some friends of mine it worked for them

you dont necessarily have to REPLACE the speed sensor, just pull it out and clean the inside of the wire harness it clips onto, i had the same thing happen. fixed it in 10 minutes.

just make sure that theres no corrosion in the connectors. if that doesnt solve it, then yes, replacing it would be your best bet
