hey guys, i would like to pick ur brains to see if i can narrow down the problem im having. here it goes. my speedometer has been acting very weird lately. i start the car in the morning, it works fine for about 10km (sometimes more, sometimes less) and then at some point, when i hit the breaks it just drops dead (once happened when i turned on the head lights). after that, it might jerk a little as i accelerate but as soon as i reach about 50-60km/h it just stays dead. at times when i just pull over and leave the car running for a few mins, start driving and it starts working again for a little while and same shit happens again. usually drops dead after i slow down, hitting breaks almost feels like it takes power away from it and when i gas it up, it some times starts going again. after i let the car sit and cool for a few hours, it starts working again. i know on 2gs there's a sensor on the tranny, i tried reseating the connector and all. it clicks on firmly. i'm a little puzzled as to what could be the problem. all other gauges are working flawlessly. my battery is on its way out tho. it seems like it's heat related but the problem is most likely electrical.
*update*
on the way home noticed that when the speedometer starts going all funky the needle drops when i take it out of gear and let rpms drop. as soon as i put it back in gear and pull it hard, it almost starts working again until i drop rpms. reving it in neutral almsot doesnt do anything.
i am confused :? it almost seems like when my engine bay heats up to a certain point, something happens to the wire/harness and it loses conductivity until it cools down. very strange. gonna try testing conductivity before and after and see what happens.
