Right after I watched the speedometer needle go down to zero, no change in speed, and then after about 10 seconds it is working again. Any ideas?

Happened to me, and that's what it was.   andrew adia (Drew) Member Username: Drew Post Number: 58 Registered: 03-2003 Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2004 - 11:07 pm:    A bad VSS will also cause the speedometer to stop working.   Tim Wilkin (Twilkin) New Member Username: Twilkin Post Number: 15 Registered: 11-2003 Posted on Sunday, January 18, 2004 - 05:28 am:    Sorry, whats TPS?
