Actually, yes that would work. Is that seriously cheaper than getting an actual Si cluster?? lol

actually a couple popped up for under 100. one was $50 in perfect condition, seller had 100% feedback... other one is about $75 and is missing the bulbs in the back of the cluster. i really want to try for the $50 one but i should PROBABLY find out if the cluster is indeed what is the problem eh? lol

LOL, yeah. Like is said earlier, if the speedometer is jumping but the odometer is still truckin' along like nothing's wrong, then your gauge is F-ed. Really, if you could find somewhere online just the stock center speedo gauge, that would work too.

Oh, a since you aren't getting a CEL, I feel that your sensor itself is functioning.

You don't have a Autozone, Advanced Auto, or NAPA by you!?

Well, do you have any friends with the same car as you? You could swap parts it check, that is, if they are cool with it.

Otherwise, replace your TPS and attempt to clear the CEL. If the CEL doesn't come back after fixing the TPS, providing nothing else is broken, then it's the stupid gauge.
