Hi all. 1992 Olds 88. 3.8 ltr. Starts off in 2nd gear and the cruise works sporadically. I think it might be the V.S.S. Has anyone heard of this and if so where is the V.S.S on this particular model. Thank You:licka:

Does the speedo work, if so it is not the VSS.

Yes, The speedo works. So im guessing that my speedo is not cable driven?

Correct, the pcm drives it based on VSS input so that is not the problem, the trans should be scanned with a full function trans scanner for solenoid functions and trans codes.

A regular scanner will not pick up trans functions, a highline scanner, professional model, or a trans shop would have this capability.
