Check the ECU. You can check the voltage on pin 18 while your moving, should range between 1-5v.

The Speed sensor is located in the Speedo part of the gauge cluster. It's also brought out to pin 11 on the DLC.

You say you pulled the code off of it - what kind of code reading device did you use, and where did you obtain it?

Thank ya

On a 1G the ECU code reader likely already in your tool box. A multimeter will do the trick but I prefer either a 12v piezo buzzer or 12v LED from Radio Shack to count the pulses. Both will cost you less than $5.

A 1G datalogger using a old Palm and MMCd will also pull and clear the codes.

Are you aware of how much information is available from the VFAQ.com site?
The 1G ECU code are at http://www.vfaq.com/mods/wayback/BradBauer/electrical/code.html
