Re: speedo acting funny

Sounds like you need a new VSS (vehicle speed sensor).

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: speedo acting funny

This one would be electronic.

I used to see a lot of bad speedometers in these. Far more than bad VSS's.

I'd connect a scanner and check for any VSS code, then drive it and observe the vehicle speed reading on the scanner datalist, THEN decide if it may be a bad VSS or not.
