sliding | Intermittent speedo problem | ||

I'm having some LCD speedo problems.
When I start to drive, I have 0 all the time. Then, as I drive, speedo strats to jump from 0 to actual speed and back to 0. As I continue to drive, I get more and more actual speed shown. Then finally, after driving for 15 minutes or so, speedo starts to work normally all the time. Any idea what could be wrong? |

My guess would be either a bad cluster or ECM... |

Andy knows a little more about these, but have you checked for a short or bad wire between the vehicle speed sensor (VSS) and the ECM?

I am going to guess (and it is only a guess) that the VSS is the problem. It is not properly picking up the signal and transmitting it to the CCM. Not a wiring problem, bad VSS. On the big semi trucks, especially the Volvos this was a common problem with the same symptoms, so I am guessing the same cause for your Vette.

I would check the VSS or the wiring too it. Could be partway burnt on the exhaust and not making a good connection.

Hi,
Before you start pulling things apart, check the filter plug behind the distributor. It happened to me on my 87. My mph & rpm were erratic on a trip. The plug was loose. I plugged it in tight and no more problems. Good Luck. Joe Flash |
