Take cluster apart and make sure needle can move (i.e. not stuck on ricer modified dial face). If that's OK you need a new speedometer / odometer unit.

Alright guys i found a few things out today.
First, I replaced the gauge cluster with a new 9k tach vs my 8k painted blue one lol
Now the speedo works fine But the CEL still comes on around 4500k.
Checked the code it is a 21...vtec solenoid. Vtec is not working. I replaced the soleniod and still no workie..You can put a peace of wire to the soleniod and it clicks. Not sure what going on with that.
