Default speedo stopped working---- free miles!

today i was driving and i noticed that my speedo was jumping around and when i was stopped it was saying i was oging like 20 or so and the odo was going up, so as soon as i got home i looked under the hood and found that my speedometer sensor was wet and halfway unclipped so i blew some air on it and drove, it worked as normal. but i got to thinking what if i unplug it? i did it and when i drove it didnt put miles on the car... its ghetto but i dont recomend doing this.

The only thing bad about that is that you don't get vtec anymore. If you ever had it

Does your car have VTEC? If so disabling the vehicle speed sensor or having a faulty one also disables VTEC.

something to think about !
your speed sensor (VSS) sends a signal to the ecu and its connected to the way your fuel injectors spit under load.
So free miles or injector Duty?

Oh and its only illegal if u plan to sell the car with the fake miles on it and not tell the buyer.
