My speedometer

Post by kinkyllama »

First off, how do you spell speedometer?

Mine works fine nearly all the time, but theres this one stretch of road maybe a mile long where it goes wack sometimes but not always. Its happend like 8 times. I think the first time it happened was when i got my muffler put on and resanator replaced with a straight pipe. It gets stuck and soemtimes jsut goes to 0.

thanks,
Dan

its spelled speedometer. you were only one letter off.
as for yours goin screwy the only thing i can think about is that the needle might be loose and not catching. have you changed your gauges or messed with them? is that road really bumpy? b/c it might be shaking it a bit loose. i don't know too much about the sensors and stuff for the woo but maybe what ever reads the speed is out of whack.

Havnt touched any of that stuff.

Its ONLY that road.. the road isnt really bumpy but not as good as most roads. But still ive been on much much worst roads w/ no problems, its always the same exact strip and it gets messed up at the same place and goes back at the same places. Its really strange

well if its at the exact same place and stuff then it either like a poltergeist type thing. :shock: or something way out of left feild like a big magnetic type of ore in the ground that makes that happen. i doubt the whole magnet deal but who knows. sorry dude i wish i could help. see if it happens in anyone elses car if it does do that then thats really freaky.

Yeah its strange. Hmm i wounder if it does it in anyone elses car. Id guess it was something in that area if it did it everytime, but it only does it sometimes.

thanks for you input though
