I have a 97 acura integra gs(?) that I keep having issues with. Small issues, but none the less issues.

I am selling the car in about a month, so I'm trying not to put too much money into it, but my check engine light came on the other day, I went in to have them run a diagnostic, and was told that my vehicle speed sensor is going, and that to get the part and have it fixed would cost around 400 bucks.

I've already put in 800 on top of the 3k I paid for it. (i was stupid in buying it for that much but oh well.)

So I need to know where i can get the part cheaper, if possible, and if its easy to self install.

Also how urgent it is to get it fixed. Cause like I said, i'm selling it in about a month.

Thanks!

Firs of all, i would inspect the VSS and it's connector for corrosion, they are infamous for this. Also, they are very easy to replace. (Sorry for the shitty cell phone pics, it's all I've got.)

To remove the whole unit, simply remove bolt <FONT COLOR="red">#1</FONT>



To remove just the top half, undo bolts <FONT COLOR="red">#2+3</FONT>

do you know where i can find one? I;m looking online and can only find them for about 150 or more...

and is it worth it to fix, if im gonna be selling it?

 

I would get a used one, http://www.HAPrecycling.com is a good place, a little $$$$$ though.

 

thats the thing i dont wanna spend alot of money since im gonna be selling it soon. But i also dont want to have the car crap out on the way home...

That site was kinda hard to navigate lol... thanks tho!
