Hey guys just developed a rather interesting issue with the speedo. I turned the car over and started on my way, when I noticed the speedo was not working all together, then it jumped to 40mph and just shook, I hit the brakes and it went back to the actual speed, then once I released the brake it went back to jumping around... wtf is going on, lol.

Loose wire? bad connection at the speedometer in the dash is my guess. check the C1 (black connector at the bottom of the speedo unit) and the VSS sender connector (on the transmission).

Figured I should post what the issue was, in case someone else finds this happening. Turned out to just be a blown fuse, lol.

was a 25 amp fuse... 3rd row... :P (When I get out there I will check which one exactly)

ps. everyone should change their fuses out with the "glow when they blow" fuses... they make my life so much easier...
