Interesting about the speed sensor RSR, I've got mine connected but since putting in the lift I've damaged the speedo cable, thus no speedo now = no speed sensor. Now I've got codes, but reckon they were there before I broke the cable, just not "visable" at times when I'm driving.

Coming home from Mt Gambier where I last filled up I just broke 10L to the 100km to Bendigo tonight (27's :D and 3.7 ratio diffs :(). I'm keen to get these sensors sorted, just time and money :(

Cheers

I've had the speed sensor code come up heaps of times.. Doesn't seem to hurt the engine in anyway but I hate the damn things being on ;) I have seen a few cars around now with black electrical tape now covering their 'Check Engine' light.. A pet hate of mine :twisted:

Ive been lazy and haven't read the last two pages but maybe when you put it in reverse the drive train budges that little bit and disturbs a loose connector!
