This is for our boy DougB who is out on a job in St. Louis and wont be able to get to a computer till this weekend.

Apparently getting lower gas mileage ~13mpg due to a faulty reed switch in the speedo which is somewhere in the gauge cluster (???) This was what he concluded from pulling a code.

Wondering what kind of time/difficulty/price/part# to get at this switch - Doug does not like the idea of losing the whole gauge for a junk yard find - doesnt want to lose his mileage ticks <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/baby.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What can we say - he is a purist <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Anyways I have no idea what this is about other than something about this reed switch being tied into the speedo gear AND ECU and its not telling the engine when its time to "coast" - didnt sound like an overdrive/tranny issue...our conversation was brief so I'm sorry if this isnt all that coherent, never heard of this and cant find anything about it on the Gen2 manual (though I havent looked extensively yet). If anyone has any ideas or input just put it here and he's much obliged <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
