i have a civic si with a b18ls in it and my rpm gauge only works sometimes and when it dose owrk if i rev it past 5500 rpm the gauge just stops woking all togather intill like an hour later or if i hit the lights on or something but it never really stays on for along time its not the dizzy and eveything to conv to obd1 the right way any ideas?
 
The copper wires.

Do yourself a favour, learn to use punctuation, then get a haynes or a factory service manual for the chassis, and one for the engine. I'm sure you can probably find the information on this board somewhere.

The only thing you should have done to convert to OBD1 is swap the OBD1 distributor on the engine with your b-series OBD2 distributor, and use an ECU conversion harness.

Are you absolutely sure all the wiring is intact? Sounds like a ground to me.
 
yea thats all the things i changed to obd1 , i mean it works but just sometimes like ill be driveing and ill trun my lights on and the rpm will just shut off but then ill flick my lights off it will come back on but no matter what it never works past 5500 and thats when vtec hits
 
Sounds like a ground to me too. Check the ground on the thermostat housing. If that comes loose then your gauges will wig out
