Dear All,

I just noticed that my 94 1.5 Civic's Odometer had fluctuated from 80km to
40km then return to 80km and 80km to 0km then return to 80km while driving
constantly at 80km back home on a highway. Any idea what the problem is? Is
the Odometer dying?

Thanks in advance

Sorry for missing some information. The fluctuation only happened 2 times.
Each time it happened within a second.

==========================

Do a google groups search for 'speedometer Honda' and you'll find the
answer right away. Something about the signal output of the ignitor or
distributor. You'll find it.

The VSS electrical connection at the tranny is getting dirty.

The igniter controls the rpm. The VSS (speed sensor) probably needs
contact spray and/or some internal cleaning.

I will try cleaning the VSS electrical connection tomorrow. Thanks.
