Hi: This sounds like you have receivied advise on replacing the speed sensor (VSS). For what it is worth I have done this, while the concept of removeing it seems easy. It was for me a challange to remove it. (Stuck)
It is interesting to note while while in my case sensor resistance values fell within spec. The sensor was still bad (PO 500) Should you elect to do this work yourself and have problems, please repost your issues. I will further articulate!
