    Speedometer/odometer stopped working every once in awhile it jumps up and down
    When I bought my car a couple of months ago the speedometer/odometer didn't work... the same day I bought it it started working... at first it jumped up and down and then stuck with the speed and worked... a couple of days ago it started jumping around again and now doesn't work at all it's been almost 5 days now and it's jumped around 2 or 3 times since but drops back to zero and stays... it's a 2000 civic si... are there any wires I need to check or what should I do?

    . Clean the main ECM ground, likely located on the thermostat housing.

    . Check all under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter:

    . Check connector to the Variable Speed Sensor (VSS), located on top of the transmission housing. Remove VSS, clean, and spray with WD-40.

    . Replace the VSS, if the problem persists.
