Ok i have a 1995 Honda Civic with 1.5 16valve engine and auto tranny ...


Car runs great , except when i go over 50+ miles distanceon the highway , all of a suden the MPH gauge goes crazy jumping up and down , then it stops for a minute and then comes back , and you can feel the torque covertor acting funny ,and the mileage stops moving .. My first thought was speed sensor ?? but wouldnt that give a check engine light ??? No check engine light hascome on yet ever .. 115K miles

im truly stumped and i am driving 1400 miles each way next month , so i figured i should get started now ..... ANYONE have a CLUE ???

 

Someone may have taken the bulb out of the check engine light. It should come on for a couple seconds when you turn the key on but don't crank the engine. It could also be a loose ground. Check the ground wires on the thermostat housing. The speed sensor is kind of expensive to just replace without confirming it dead first.

 

Nope Check Engine Light works when key is turned forward , so that is not it, any other ideas ????

What ever it is , it only screws up 50 or more miles down the road ....

Could it be in the Tranny ???

 

does it just start working again after a bit more driving, or does it return to normal after you havent driven the car for a while?

 

I dont really have a answer for that , it has done it the last 2 times i went over 50+ miles ....


It runs fine everyday , even if i jump on the interstate and run 20-30 miles its ok but once i go 50-60 it starts up ...

I drive the car around the city with no problems ever !!! Its wierd

No one has had something similar ???



has anyone had a speed sensor go , on a model with out Cruise Control ???
if so how did it act ???

 

Bump
