its going crazy because you have a bad connection somewhere. odds are the prongs in the plug are corroded or rusted.

this happened to me and it just ended up being the plug going into the vss. So if you have washed your engine recently or ever for that matter i would check the plug first before buying a new vss. Because if that is the case the vss plug is probably just in need of a cleaning.

If that vss cleaning doesn't help, then it could very well be a dizzy ignitor or coil issue. My tach use to go crazy at random times, then got a "new" reman dizzy and that fixed it...until this past month, now it's doing it again. Burned through a good dizzy in a year's time. ARGH!

It may be a broken pin in VSSs plug, it also may be your cluster and VSS itself as well, not mentioning rusty electricity, in my case it was cluster that was f-u
