VSS!! I hope.
Ok, so i drove my Disco up to Ohio this week to get her registered in my home of record state. The truck did well, it got 19mpg average, and only a few small problems occurred while traveling.
The one that made my stomach drop into my ass hole happened when i decided to double check that my horn was working.
As soon as i hit my horn i saw the needle from the spedo drop from 75 to 0 and then right back up to 75. It continued to do this intermittently for about 15 - 20 min. I remembered seeing something on Dweb about the VSS doing this.
On the way back from Ohio i had another stomach-into-ass thing happen. This time i was driving around 70 and the engine cut out and then right back on. Kind of like when an electrical governor kicks in. Again, after i got done shitting myself i remembered seeing something on Dweb about the VSS causing that too.
Am i in the ball park with my troubleshooting? I still dont have a copy of the RAVE CD and I would rather burn my truck to the ground before i take it to a stealership.
I can search the threads on how much of a pain in the ass it will be to change out the VSS. But any insight would be nice!
Thanks!
