Ok ordered a new Speed sensor for 38 bucks online. worth a shot tho start there. was on a long drive today and calulated the Odometer is off by .2 per mile, so @ 10 miles, I really travel 12 and @ 100 miles its more like 120.

Basically I take the miles driven divide by 5 and add the result to the total. Made a big differance in MPG, more in line to what it should be now. So odometer is for sure off with the speed issue.

On another note, I pulled an idiot thing and left the light switch pulled out and the parking lights stayed on all night and the battery was dead (I know, I know) anyways jumped it off and eveything seems ok, but now the cruise Control does not work.... any quick suggestions on this, I may post a new thread on this....

Thanks everyone for all the advise, will let you know how this turns out, sensor should be here by the weekend, looks at detials to replace, going to be a chore, but looking forward to the challange.
