Your injectors are fried in two of the cylinders or your resistor box is fried. What probably happend is something grounded out to the frame and fried the injectors or resistor box because the resistor box in the older hondas like that is grounded to the frame. The reason I say that is becasue a buddy of mine (B20Accord) had the same problem on his '86 accord after a severe grounding issue. Replace both of those and then see how it runs. Try the injectors first that's what fried on his.

Right well I didn't know a VSS code can possibly cause VTEC to not engage, I also have no idea how the VSS is wired up on this car as mentioned above but.....lol....I just went oustside with a flash light for ***** and felt around the top of the tranny and felt what I believe to be the whole VSS unit and it twists left and right freely :P I also needed to connect the actual plug for the VSS too though that didn't seem to do ----. No way this is the fix to my problems but I'll have to wake up way before work one of these days and check it out better. Definitely need some insight on this though.....

Dude you SHOULD fix any problem with your car. Things you think don't matter really do. Like someone else said before Check your TPS and recalibrate it. I took mine off once before and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't rev past 3 grand. that was the problem. Now go fix those things and then come back and tell use whats wrong still.

Re: New member, unique crx with a problem
wait, your car shouldnt have wires for the VSS, only a cable. you have a cable cluster and a cable driven VSS, if not thats why the speedo doesnt work.
BTW: a VSS code will cause exactly what your car is doing, dont believe me, oh well. FIX THE OBVIOUS.
