First check the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) on the transmission and make sure the wiring for it is OK. There's a fuse for it but it has some other important things tied in with it as well... o2 sensor and alternator I believe? So probably not a blown fuse if that's your only problem but worth a look.

1 of the 3 prongs that plug into mine is GREEN from corrosion.It goes wacky from time to time.When you hit a bump or jump on it hard.. Pretty common with hondas.Check for corrosion.And like teal dx said the vss itself.Never knew the o2 sensor was tangled in with it though :o

The EG clusters do DIE, And it isn't always the VSS. I've already had 2 clusters die on me and replacing the VSS wasn't the problem. I have a completely different cluster all together now with the same VSS that the 2 old clusters died on and no problems at all. Id suggest swapping out your Cluster before buying a VSS, Just to see if it is infact the VSS. I wasted $150 buying that thing for no reason. If you have a friend ask if you can try their cluster.

I'd just get one from a junkyard all you gotta do is bring a cheap multimeter. Give it a couple of spins. If you get voltage, run it.
