Whats up everyone. New to this board but did a ton of searching before actually posting. I just finished a 96 B18C (5) JDM swap in my 92 EG VX. It runs great, except every once in a awhile the speedometer starts to flick all over the place and when I hit about 6k rpm it falls flat on its face. Is this a wiring issue or possibly a lack of fuel? Or could this be related to the Speed Sensor?

Since the car was a VX it was prewired for Vtec so I didnt have to do any wiring. I bought the motor from Hmotorsonline and they sold me a jumper harness to make the ECU plug and Play in my car.

Tried to give as much info as possible. Any help would be great. Thank you guys.

Thanks Nick for the reply. Yeah I'll be replacing that first before I start chasing ghosts in the wiring.
