when accelerating my speedometer needle is acting very strang. it nevers stays at one speed when im driving. for example ill be doing 70 on the highway and my needle will be going all over the place. what is this?

Replace your VSS sensor and it will be good to go

no codes? I didn't have the vss all the way in and i was throwing a code after driving for a while.

swap out the cluster with a friends and see if you still get that. this happened to me with a bad cluster.

The VSS should go out before the cluster would unless you placed some Algerian Engineering on it.

check the connector that connects to the speed sensor. This usually gets corroded and causes the speedometer to act erratically.

mine some time sticks at 0 and when i hit it like tap when driving it plops up to like 20
some times i can tell its not acurate giving it gas and not moving for a few seconds

so my symptoms are a retarted or slow speedo how can i fix this?

Kamin

man you guys really need to learn basic troubleshooting!

never replace a part outright.

its very common for the VSS to have corrosion and contact problems, the symptoms you describe are very accurate with this

unplug the VSS, clean the connectors with electrical parts cleaner, let it dry, try again.

like everyone else has said, check your VSS first, if not, take out your cluster and and push the speedo needle up, should have some resistance and go back down. if you push it up and it goes all the way around, then you my friend need a new cluster
