Is your vss hooked up ? Take it out of the trans and clean it up, make sure its in tight. If they don't work, make sure everything looks ok on the ecu side.

hey guys,

my speedo works but it tweaks when the car starts up it starts to move up and down slightly when the car is cold but when car ideal and warms up it stops to tweak.

yea its on tight with the pin on I will clean that baby up today and try it..

Maybe I need an interga speedo cable because I am right now using a STD hatchback cable!!

thanks for the replys guys

1 make sure it is comletly pluggd in like everyone else said on the tranny and the gauge cluster

Yea I just went ahead look at that **** I pulled out the cable inside that speedo cable and put it back hopefully it won't give the CEL anymore.

Will let you guys know when I take it for test drive.. its plugged in at the back of the Cluster pretty good it won't come out because the clip is on tight..

Thanks for the inputs guys!!!

After I took out that ****, cleaned it plugged it in and after I drove for about 15-20 the Code 17 popped up again

What can be wrong..?

Just took at the look at the wiring.

Going from b10 OBD1 to b16 on the OBD0.

What else can be wrong maybe the dam cable is fucked or cluster?
