Lol, the speedo is electronically controlled. Could be that the speedo has a fault, the conversion electronics have come loose or a sensor has broke.

Most likely there is a problem in the gauge cluster and something has died.

If you search for speedo there is plenty of information for both removing the dash and checking the parts.

hhmm, bit different to my integra lol! just tryin to help out. So would that mean it reads the speeds though the abs unit? if so mate, check your fuses?  be a good place to start.

hey i didn\'t know that. my abs not working either. but checked all the fuses and there ok. now really not got a clue what it could be:2Confused

did your abs stop working round the same time as the speedo, have you got an abs light on the dash? check all your connectors are plugged in and have good connections, the abs module is in the top right corner of the engine bay. Other then that i can only think of it being a faulty wheel speed sensor (abs sensor).

If you do a search for dash removal there are a couple of really good write ups on how to do it, usually the rev counter goes wrong and can be caused by faulty capacitors on the instrument assembly.
