my speedometer doesn't follow my speed..i acceleterate from a complete stop and it remains on 0 for 1.5 seconds then it jumps up to my speed..and when i slow down quickly i come to a stop and the speedo is still dropping from 30-20-10-0...i think my speedo reads my speed from a moment ago..not that instant..does any know why!?!??!

 

I would defnitly recomend to check the speedometer sensor, and i defnitly do know that if your RPM gauge starts to bug out then that is being caused by a bad distributor

 

do u know where the speedometer sensor is?

find the distributer, then look straight down and you will see the sensor, it is held in by one 10mm bolt.

 

if it was the Vehicle Speed Sensor isnt that on the tranny?

This has got to be the number one asked question.
