Hi jamijamik,

Was the speedometer working before you replaced the speed sensor?

After replacement did you erase the error code?

I think you have a tuning problem rather than what you suggested.

A simple thing as a clogged air filter will cause you to fail the emission test. Get a tuneup done for your car.
