Re: No Luck

Re: Vehicle speed sensor

I had a broken wire on the plug for the VSS. Probably happened when they were changing out my motor. That's when the problem started.

Oil Changes

I have been told by several people that with the Vibe oil changes you have to be strict about them. Stating that the oil runs hot and thin. They say it caused your lifters the bend an your motor to blow. This one mechanic told me to run 10 40 in the summer because it's thicker oil. What are your op...

Re: Vehicle speed sensor

I have not looked at it but I will take it back to the mechanic and have him take a look. Also will the BAD make my transmission shift funny? It has no takeoff power and won't shift into passing gear. I can put my gas peddle to the floor and the car won't take off like it used to.
