I have a 96 honda civic and I was driving and the check engine light came on and my speedometer starting going crazy. I used a scan tool and it said speed sensor, so I replaced it cleared the code and the code did not return but I still have my problem also my lights are flickering. Is it a bad new sensor or cluster or alt. I am lost

Make sure that the new sensor its exactly the same as the bad sensor. And also be sure that has been adjusted or installed properly.

RollnDUBZ22- I have the same symptoms in my 1996 honda civic lx. I am stuck. The speedo and the flickering came on practically on my test drive after doing my timing belt and water pump. I assumed it was something I did, or possibly caused (bad ground, pulled wire from connector). Maybe a component coincidentally went bad when I was done working on the car. Where you able to fix your car? Please respond asap, thanks.
