Can someone help?

so, i think there are some people here who are sick of hearing about my problems with my JDM EF8 gauge, but i really want to solve the problem with out having to give some Jerk Mechanic some 300 $ to fix it. so here is my story. I have pictures, but dont know how to put them on this forum.

SO i bought this Jdm Gauge from ebay. i proceded to use http://b16a.honda-perf.org/cluster.html
to wire up the gauges. I didnt have a VSS at the moment so i figured i would just do with your it until i got one. luckily i have some friends who do motor swaps on the regular, so i got a vss from a 93 integra. my firends said it would work so i used

as a reference and wired it up...they siad

"Next just slip the electronic VSS into the tranny and bolt up with the 10mm bolt. Now here is the wiring, I don't have pics of the prosses but it is easy to understand. There are 3 wires coming out of the VSS plug. Power, signal and ground. The power wire you have to run to a switched power source, pin B4 and A15 on the civic clips will work fine. The ground wire you just have to ground, splice it into an exsisting ground or create a new one either will work. The signal wire has to be split into 2. Run one signal into the back of the cluster in pin A11, The other into Pin B16 on the ECU. You split the signal because both the cluster and Ecu need the Vehicle speed signal."

I did this and nothing happened. i then realized that there are numbers on the ECU plug that are not exactly what i needed. i had to count them off manualy. i realized that i was on the worng wire, first because the color didnt match up with the yellow/red wire behind the gauge was not the same as the white wire it hooked it to. so i counted off to b16 and it was yellow/red and i connect it. still nothing.

So in a nutshell this is what i did. i have one wire grounded, to the car, the power wire is spliced into a switched power source behind the gauge and the siglnal wire is spliced into a wire that i have runing from pin b16 in the ecu to the back of the gauge where the vss signal is supposed to go.

i thought it might be the speed sensor, so i got another one from a 92 civic. installed it and used the same harness plug for the 93 teg and hooked it up. still nothing. everything else works but this speedometer.
i know this process works because i have read that it has been successful. i am not and idiot, i dont think, i just wanted to do somthing my self. if any one could help a brother out, that would be cool.

thanks

I see there are no replies,but I have a idea, get a wiring diagram for a SiR and a Si(if you don't allready have those)...other than that I have no fucking clue on anything about a thing you said.

Connect one of the VSS lead wire to B1 (8 pin connector top of cluster, yellow and red wire) and second to the speed sensor pin on your ecu. If you're using a PR3, then it's B16...I hope this helps...

hey EF LSVtec, I like those fender flares. Are those pop rivets? Cool rims too... shiny :sunglasse

I tried finding answer, but I wound up just reading these posts for like an hour and fogetting what I was exactly looking for. You may already have them bookmarked, but they might help you.

Sorry, OT: Thanks, they're J's racing flares but unfortunately, installed em before I got the new wheels, (Work Meister S1, 15x8.5), so I had to raise em up about 4 inches to make em fit...those arent rivets, btw...simply screws.
