Cool, I'm having the same problem. I have replaced the speed sensor but that only helped for a few minutes of driving and now its right back to doing the same thing. Engine light on, O/D light flashing, speedometer jumping. We have it in at the shop getting the AC fixed which is costing about all we can afford at this point. Is there a conncetor that can malfunction? Is it the connector that plugs into the sensor? If not, where is the next most likely place I should look? If this isn't too difficult, I'd like to try and run it down myself. I am not a certified mechanic but I do most of my work on my old ford and older chevy and and have never goofed anything up. What I mean is I am very mechanically inclined.
My mechanic talked like he has to follow certain steps in the book and it could run into a lot of money I don't have. He did re-confirm the code was VSS related. I have no complaints about his work or rates and he is a good friend but when ya cannot budget the labor, sometimes ya have to look at other routes. Any advice to help us through this rough spot would be very appreciated (from anyone out there).
