just checked for codes, and I'm getting a 38. this is a 3.0L. Does anyone know what this code is?
Also, when I turn the key quickly to read the code, occasionally the speedo needle pegs, then goes back down. What does that mean?

Thanks

You were already there to replace the sensor. It wouldn't hurt to check the plastic gear. I've seen them get stripped on a 727. I'm sure it's possible on your as well. If you clean up the sensor good enough you might be able to take it back and say you didn't install it.

the gear looks good. It was of course attached to the old sensor, but I checked it and clipped it onto the new sensor.

Hey Russ, it's the Hijacker here. Messed around with my Neon the better part of Saturday. New speed sensor=NO change. Started tearing into gauge cluster. Poor connection between cluster and dash wiring. Gave terminals a little twist to improve connection. Result: still intermittent at best. Built up terminals with a little solder. Same result! Maybe there is a break in the wiring somewhere. I haven't found it yet! I feel your frustration with this. We probably put 10-15 miles on the car, on the hoist trying to find the "sweet" spot where the speedo would run consistently. If we ever trace it down, I'll give you a heads up.


Nothing to see here. Carry on.
