Gently step on gas revs go nuts to about 3000 but increase in speed is very small. when i let go of gas at 3000 it feels like gear changes(speed is about 30km/h). 3rd drives ok but then when on 4th, revs go above 4000 without accellerating and they jump up and down. before i though it was water getting into PCM but its all dry even after the rain. I am really desperate.... what can get wet underneath? PS: found some stuff here about vss and imrc... would that be it? Last edited by powerx_32; 08/11/05 06:18 AM. 1998 Contour V6 Duratec 2.5L

This "should" flash your O/D light though. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

If you have an ATX and the quote above is for the speedometer, yes, I would suspect the VSS or connection to the VSS. It should have the OD light coming on and should have a CEL also. Clean the connector plug to the VSS and see if that helps. If not, then it could be the VSS. "Always do the cheap and easy ones first." 1996 V6 ATX 96K miles
