well along with everything that has gone wrong with my civic this week i went to get my wheel alignment and of course i need a new tie rod, so i was on my way home and my speedo was jumping around like crazy then it just turned off. about 1 minute later my CEL turns on. i get home and i say maybe my vss went bad. i pulled out one of the extra ones i had laying around and i put it in took it for a test run same thing. tried the thrid one same thing, my buddy came over and we took his out and put it in mine same thing. so what we did was pulled out the sensor and spun it by hand nothing. so we started playing around with the plug while spinning the sensor and the speedo would jump once in a while. could it be my plug went bad on me?
 
ok it ended up being my clip! i changed it over to a new one and i took it for a spin and BOOM it worked! thanks guys
