ok , well last time i just jiggled some stuff under the dash and it worked again, well, this time it didnt work, and the sensor, thats right under the TB, iuno if its bad or what, is that what i should replace ? but it wont come out, theres something attached to it, help me out guys, the chilton dosnt have NE thing about it, all it says is u need ot tak it out to do something with the starter witch makes no sense, but none the less , please help me out

bump, oh yah, well today i took the sensor out to look at it, and the plastic gear on the end of it managed to fall into my transmission somewhere, so when i go to start my car tommorow morning im sure it will b getting ground up so i guess ill go get a new sensor lol

beware.. that happened to me... i could feel/hear the synchros eating the plastics alive...
also, it rattled for about 2 weeks, and my gears shift kinda funny ever since.
i got a new sensor and i cant get it to work..
aparrently i needed a gear (speedo gear, that goes inside the tranny) what will rotate with the sensor spinning gear on the sensor.
anyway i bought the part but to crack the tranny open to install it, i'd rather wait till i got to replace my clutch and do both at once.

only thing is, that the ECU controls the IAC with this sensor.
since its not running, the car may run kinda crappy, like it wants to stall at stoplights.
specially with the A/C on, will run even crappier.

also ive been noticing some strang grinding/vibration when i let off the accelerator, or drop rpms in any way , ex: let off clutch, brake, or let off gas, and i dont know if it just started since my speedometer stopped working or not, would that grinding/vibration go in part with the speedometer stop working ?

well if the speed rotating gear fell into the tranny its definately the axles eating it. it should hit bottom of tranny
it will eventually desintegrate,
the best way to know its the plastic, try to see if it followes the speed of the car, the slower you go, the more you can hear the sound.
the reason is, if you go fast, no matter what gear your in, with or without clutch, the axles are spinning thus the oil pushing it away from them. when you slow down, there is less movement in the tranny and the plastic will tend to settle, thus hitting against the axle.
it you can hear the sound no matter what speed and it varies with clutch pedal use, then its gonna be a bearing.

my god. you havn't gotten your speedo fixed yet either??? lol! that was a long time ago that thread we were posting in about this same topic. my speedometer gear that goes on the diffy, is on my headboard right now. i plan on droppin the tranny within the month.

after those two weeks did it stop that grinding noise ? im hoping that is what it is and it will quit cuz its really worriing me and its really irritating as well thx, btw car is going into the shop tommrow, ill post the results
