My 93 Honda Civic Odometer has some kind of electrical shortage it works
occassionally what parts do I need to have that fixed

Is it *only* the odometer that acts up, or does the speedometer and / or
trip-odometer have problems as well?

Thanks for your response yes the whole thing including the speedometer acts
up at times it moves all around to the end and gets stuck there for awhile

There is a VSS (vehicle speed sensor) on the transmission. The VSS
provides the signal for the speedometer, odometer and trip odometer (and
the cruise control, if so equipped). If the VSS is faulty it affects all
of those parts.

Typo correction: That's ARCO Graphite ... although the stuff was graphic
black in color right out of the can. LOL

To append: The lower compression pistons fitted to a turbocharged engine
also help prevent excessive peak dynamic compression levels, Steve. Known
fact that higher cranking compression reduces the amount of boost you can
safely run ... gasoline or diesel.
