Total Sign Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Just stops working when it feels, turns on when it feels. Not a "Hit a bump" and it works deal. Any quick fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 You could try resetting the ECU. As cars become more like computers its possible that a good old fasion reboot will fix stupid problems. If not then I'd guess its gonna be a fun job troubleshooting it.

still2hi Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 Is this your car? If so the quickest fix would be to give me the car! I'm just kidding. This is my dream car though. I will talk to a buddy, he is impala god. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el aguila Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Make sure the VSS connection is good and tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Total Sign Posted December 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 what/where is vss? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy1647545504 Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 vss is the vehicle speed sensor. Not 100% sure, but I think it's on the tranny, should be on the left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Probably near the tail shaft, but on newer stuff it could be somewhere else. They usually drive off a gear that is on the output of the tranny to read the speed of the driveshaft. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this common?I'd say pretty good guess. Try checking out www.alldata.com for any TSB's or recalls. Make sure you check all model years (94, 95, and 96) as well as checking under Caprice for the same years. There may be a TSB for this problem as I've seen something similar on Cavaliers. Good luck!

GRN96WS6 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 You mean speedo or odometer? The speedo is analog and the odometer is digital. My old roomie has one and that is a common problem on the digital odometers. The connection from the board to the display is soldered like crap so you have to take the whole speedo cluster out and redo it. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
