New Problem

Once i get up to about 50-55 and left of the gas my check engine light comes on im thinkin its the O2 censor but im not sure any suggestions?

tell us what code the ecu is throwing https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26342 i'm guessing tps or vss

i reckon.

by the way the ecu will be under your drivers seat covered with a plastic cover :)

x2 vss have fun with that one, just switch the cluster

thats the cool thing about our cars...we can check the codes...most of them are easy fixes

Don't quote me on this, but I remember my sister taking her 3g to the stealer for a cruise control problem years ago. They told her the VSS was bad and charged her ~$400 to fix it. They said that if you leave the cruise control system on, it will burn up the VSS. I always assumed they were being their typical cheating scoundrel selves, but if there is a pulser in the dash that goes bad, I might be willing to forgive them this one.

Anyone else know anything about this?

There is a pulser in the dash. That is how the CC works. It sends a pulse depending on speed, this way you can resume the CC because it remembers what pulse it was.

At least I think.

VSS and cruise control pulser are both seperate. Ones a reed switch and the other is something you would find inside a ball mouse :)

But does the pulser burn up if you leave the CC switch on?

Possibly. I never really looked into how the CC works, guess its time to look at the digram and see if the pulser turns off or not.

Edit: I just looked at the wiring digram, and it stays on all the time.

Does anyone know what the pulser looks like? i had this problem a while back and never figured out which part to change so i changed the whole thing out

a small glass reed switch on the speedometer part.

with yellow plastic around it right?
