    When you say it stalls at 45 mph, do you mean it loses power or the car just shuts off? Not really clear on what you mean. The speed sensor only drives the speedometer, it should not effect power or speed on this year Honda. Maybe you mean the speedometer does not go above 45, so possibly the speedometer is worn out?
