    Speedo problem

    My friend's car has a speedo problem. Sometimes it'll work, and other times we'll be going along and it'll just drop to 0 and never pick back up. I'm thinking there's something loose, but I'm not sure

      VSS= Vehicle speed sensor. Do a search, you'll turn up some info. Good luck!

        Well, the car pulls to the right when driving, and pulls to the left when braking, but I don't see how that would hurt the speedo. I'm gonna go read up on the VSS

          pulling while driving = needs an alignment most likely
          pulls while braking, means one side is braking harder than the other, maybe pads, maybe rotors...just get braking system checked out
          Yes the speedo problem is 99% the VSS

          on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
          where you been, is something wrong?
          i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

            ^agree. Well, I meant drivability issues with surging, hesitation,etc with the engine...pulls fine to redline?

              Yup. Car still does great when you stomp it. Made sure of that a couple dozen times today :P

                try cleaning the vss and testing its resistence.
