[Speedometer and Odometer dump + codes]

Well Josh, you are sure up on these things. I took off the cable at the base where it goes into the trans. The cable looked good but the inner coil came out of the outer sheath, both ends still had good square tips and was still lubed. I gave it going over with some silicone grease for good measure and ran it back into the sheath. I was upset when the speedo did not read with a drill on it. Then I realized that I needed to run the drill CC, counter clockwise and it worked fine. A 17mm deep socket easily removed the base. The inner tang/spindle had worn in half and was obviously shot. I did have to pick out the lower seal and metal washer from the hole. Used a vac cleaner to suck out the dust and worn bushing material. Screwed in the new base ( $15.00 at the dealer), attached the cable and away we went. Good speedo & odom readings, no bounce on the needle and all the codes are clear, fans quiet and the check eng. light is off! I am very happy. 194K and humming.

Thank you for your guidance, Brass.

Do you have an auto tranny?

 

If so, the base cable piece probably broke. It's relatively common. I replaced mine a while ago. It's not hard, and the piece isn't expensive. You need to make sure to get the old washer and rubber piece out when you replace the piece.

Yes I have an auto trans., in fact jus had it rebuilt 2 months ago.

Do you think the base cable piece is also making the computer generate these codes? Seems to odd that all these related troubles would pop up at the exact same moment???

Thanks,

Marty

Hello everyone:

My 92 Legacy, front drive, 2.2 is giving me a fit. The speedometer and odometer suddenly quit and the check engine light came on at the same time.

I ran the OBD flash test and rcvd codes 13 and 33, (cam angle sensor and speed sensor).

Any ideas? Cable bad? Would a bad cable make the computer generate these codes also? Your help is much appreciated.

Marty

[92 Legacy Component location - help!]

92 Legacy / front drive only

Could anyone give me a detailed location for the Purge Control Solenoid that runs to the Canistor. ( maybe some identifying characteristics)

I see several possible units, but I am not 100% sure. Hard to trace under the manifold.

Thank you!
