Ok, about a year ago my speedo started crapping out on me after the car had sat in my driveway for a few months (rebuilt motor and performed a swap).
It worked intermidanttly for a while, and then stopped functioning completely. I changed out the VSS with a BRAND NEW ONE, but this still didn't fix the problem. The wires seem to look fine, the connector has some corossion, but nothing serious. I have tried cleaning it with some sandpaper on the end of a qtip stick but it still haven't fixed it. Is the actual cluster the only other place left to check?

Car is a 93 delSol with approx 120k miles.

Thanks!

 

me too!!! Damn it. I want answers

 

Maybe you need a new speedo. Swap in a friends speedo or cluster and see if that cures your problem. I had the same thing on my 97 DX. Car has over 130k on it.

 

it may possibly be a bad ground somewhere

 

Mine did it. I went with a JDm EG6 cluster...works like a charm. A brand new speedo is 200 bux. Or you can swap one out from a DX or CX cluster from a junkyard.

 

the soddering(sp?) in the speedo went bad.. same thing happened to my car. it's NOT the VSS. it's the cluster. either open it up and re-sodder everything, or get a new cluster. walla! problem solved!

 

Rem. Terry how i would doing 15mph it said i would go from 15 to like 140 with just a roll on haha, i hope i don't have this problem again, mine had something to do with the ground from tranny, to chasis.

 

hey mike member when you had your feet on the dash because you couldnt any more numbers on the speedo after a roll on? lol

 

haha and we were only doing like 28 mph hahaha
