    Engine momentarily died while driving - thoughts?

    Any other symptoms of a bad VSS? Or other reasons a Speedo would not work? One more clue: My Ultra Guage shows 0 MPH when the Speedo isnt working but I am driving it. The Speedo has worked intermittently over the last month or so, got a replacement VSS here, just haven't put it in yet.
