toggle switch old school ghetto vtec
That has nothing to do with my question

yes, the speedo is working. I already have taken the solenoid off the head and tested it. It is shot.

Actually my car went into vtec and the speedo don't work. Though once I got a CEL for the o2 sensor then it wouldn't kick over.
