well first off welcome.
your idle could be a number of things. it sounds to me like a vacuum problem. I had the same problem in my car when a line came off. Idled at almost 5k :shock:
your speedo cable either not in the trans or not in the back of the cluster all the way. Its a mechanical speedo and odometer. pretty easy fix. you can pull the gauge cluster cover off and unscrew the gauge cluster. look on the back to the speedo and see if the cable is in all the way. If it is than its probably not seated in the trans properly.
As for missing parts you can probably pick most of them up in a pick n pull for cheap. The climate controls are notorius for breaking in the crx's. if you can find one that works but is cracked, glue it back together and you can buy cover that you glue on top to hide all the glue/cracks. Make sure you dont get the climate control from the civic or the civic hatchback though, its a different unit.
