Speedometer Quit

Is the Tach working? If No, the VSS is dead then. I do not know if it is the same for your car, but the EG has like a little needle/linkage that links with the trans. If the needle in the VSS gets damaged chipped you need a new one.
Fear only comes when people are close to something...failure or success.

I believe the tachometer gets its signal from the distributor, not the VSS.

This is correct a VSS has nothing to do with engine speed.

Check for corrosion on the wires going to the vss. Look at the metal pins, they are sometimes prone to corrosion. I had to replace a pin on mine.....my dads car has a pin corroding as well.
