Vehicle Speed Sensor: any way to fix this or bypass
This might be why my car goes in limp mode
or won't start some times

I also got a Code #17 not sure what this is or how to fix it.

Any help would be great

Thanks, I have a new alt in it and a new battery. Right now I think it is the camshaft sensor. Just waiting to see if some one thinks it can be done at home or if I need to take it into a garage. It could be the key and lock system as well.

Sensor only $60 so I will start there.

According to an Emission Control manual that I have the code 17 is Crank Signal circuit (shorted) or Faulty ECM.
