    Would this cause a check engine light??

    Okay, I didn't get the code it threw. I had my gauges cluster unattached for a couple days. The gauges were in there, just not screwed in while I was checking some stuff. The odometer/speedo. was kinda hooked up and worked most of the time. Well, the CEL came on when the cable came out. No power loss, no surging, etc. Before I knew it, no more CEL and I reconnected the cable. Would a disconnected cable FOR SURE throw that light on or am I getting ready to have something go wrong for reals. Anyone know for 100%??

    Good. I figured it was the speed sensor. Scary seeing it come on all bright yellow, but it went away so I figured the VSS was the culprit. Thanks!
