Default Speedometer issues

I searched the old post and couldn't get the right info, so here goes. I have a 93 delsol, d16z6 manual.car sat for 5 years before I bought it.the speedometer isn't working. At first the odometer worked but no speedometer.Now neither work. Tach and every thing else work fine.If I pull the vss out and put a drill on it it works, but you have to spin real fast.the gear in the trans looks fine and spins,what should I check?

What is it? The speedometer?

Is CEL code 17 thrown?

Is the drive link installed?

When CEL turns on, don't turn engine off and jump service connector.

If your RPM works but you don't have speed reading, it could just be your speed sensor.
