my speed gause comes on and of all the time but never stays on what is the problem

Model year?

Do you have cruise control? Does it work?

91 accord and no the cruise does not work

91 accord and no the cruise does not work Do a search for VSS. This is most likely your problem. We have had couple of threads recently on the forum.

Good luck,

Sam

edit: VSS stands for vehicle speed sensor

do you have a check engine light on?? if so its more than likely vss like somick said... i recently went throught the same problem it ended up being a loose corroded connection on the vss pigtail and mine is a 93

Yeah if the cruise quit the same time as the speedo, I'd vote the VSS is at fault too...that's where I was going with that question...
