After driving at hi-way speeds for around an hour or more, my speedometer will drop out for a second or two then jump back up to speed. It will never actually drop all the way to 0 but will drop as far as 10mph before jumping back up. I had the VSS replaced about 6 months ago with no result. Is there some other adjustment that I can make to keep this from happening? Thanks   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 213 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2004 - 10:26 am:    Patrick, For what it�s worth, My speedo gave up last month and all I do now for speed is: A. Sense how much +/- I am going (35s and 4.7s, so not too racey) B. Use GPS whenever needed (MUST be more accurate than the stock one, right?)   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 214 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2004 - 10:27 am:    ...Therefore...I say ditch it and slap in an LCD screen for rush hours!   Adam Ross (Discodriveradam) Member Username: Discodriveradam Post Number: 188 Registered: 01-2003 Posted on Monday, February 09, 2004 - 12:54 pm:    TPS (Throttle Position Sensor). Try that one out.
