Re: Check engine and VSS HELP!!! :(

My car is locked up in my dads shop right now and forgot the exact code off the top of my head, but it's for VSS1 if thats the one that is in the rear of the tranny wired into the solenoid. Like I said before we found some corroded wires this evening that we are going to try and clean on Monday and hopefully even if we have to replace it, we found the problem. I just wanted to know if anyone else has run into anything similar because this check engine light is really getting to me and after all I've been through with my car it really sucks to not be able to drive it now that its running like pure gold. My tags have been expires since Jan. I was driving it on bad tags and only decided to stop when I got pulled over by a prick. I showed him that I had failed the emissions due to my check engine light and even showed him reciepts for some of the parts I had already replaced trying to get it so it would pass and right when he was walking back to his car to write me a ticket this lady came out of nowhere screaming about her gas station getting robbed by a guy with a gun and the cop handed me back my papers and took off. It's been a long week and I was super bummed we didn't get everything fixed before the weekend. I start school again Monday full time so I'll have a lot less time to mess with it. Since Tuesday I replaced my valve cover gaskets, cam seals, pcv, 3 grounds, ecu, all 02 sensors, VSS2, battery cables and I'm probably forgetting a few things. After all this and and the entire day today trouble shooting different wires and relays and grounds I was smoked. Then I pulled a faux fur blanket out to put over the car to keep it from getting scratched by my dad or the other mechs walking around it with tools and a giant clam shell comes flying out of the blanket and slams across my still freshly painted hood leaving a nice skidded scratch mark. I was livid. I may be a grown woman, but by that point I was so pissed off and upset I had to walk away and cry for a few minutes. My car is my main hobby and one of a very small group of things that actually makes me happy and no amount of money is too much for me if it means she'll be happier and the fact that I haven't been able to drive her for 2 months now is taking its toll
