Well, the wife’s been complaining that her speedometer goes nuts every once and awhile. It also shifts strange at the same time. The cruise control also is spastic when you hold your mouth right. The cheapest component ($20) to all of these problems is the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor.)
Getting to that sensor is another thing. According to the BOOK, you have to drop the Y pipe. That means four bolts on each manifold and two bolts connecting the rest of the exhaust system to the rear plumbing. I put the car on the lift and squirted the bolts with Liquid Wrench. I’ll let it soak a few days, giving them a refresh shot every evening or so.
Hopefully, by the time I can get around to dropping that y-pipe, the bolts will be loose enough to where I’ll have at least a little skin left on my arms. <sigh>
