Start by replacing the coolant temp switch.It is different than the sensorThe temp switch tells the computer if the car is warmed up to change idle.It is the best place to start and it is only 9.00 at Auto Zone
most likely a bad coolant temp sensor and harness ,common issue,,,if gives the car too much gas if it misreads and then when u put foot to floor gives it right amount or air to start,,,get a saturn sensor and put it in,if the harness is contaminated replace it too,dont get cheap auto zone **** they dont work get the saturn one,cost more but works,they redesigned them the aftermarket ones are plastic junk
This is most likely due to a poor connection from your speedometer cable to your transmission/transaxle. Often when a transmission is replaced this happens. If you have a way to identify your speedometer/transaxle connection. Locate it, if it seems to be loose remove it and aggressively clean w/proper solvent. If that is not the case then you have a faulty instument cluster and it needs to be replaced.
The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) is located in the differential area of the transaxle. Also, to replace it should be fairly simple. I wish I could give a better answer exactly where it is at, but I have you the answer straight out of the Haynes manual.
To replace the VSS, disconnect the electrical connector from the VSS. Then remove the retaining bolt and lift the VSS from the Transaxle or simply unscrew the VSS. Installation is the reverse of removal.
