Default Slight hiccup today...is it my VSS?

Ok, I know this is pretty anorexic information but for the first time, as I was driving down the freeway 65mph, I lost power momentarily. Took my foot off the gas then depressed it again and everything was fine. No CEL or any other signs, wondering, does the VSS "go bad" or does it just go? Any other thoughts?

No, I just had that replaced, I'm getting 1.21 Jiggawatts...both you and AK suck

Does it sound like a Vehicle Speed Sensor smart asses. Everything else is running smoothly, at 88mph I can travel anywhere in time but I don't want to get stuck back in the 1800's.

Not sure. I haven't had to deal with my VSS(yet). Do you have a multimeter? Could you crawl under and check the specs? I didn't see any specs in the RAVE...

Cool, yah I'll see what I get, I'll pour through the RAVE but if you didn't find it I doubt I'll do any better. Thanks!

I don't have the complete RAVE at work, only the workshop manual. The specs could be on the BIG file.

Ahhh good point, maybe I'll start the download, paint the house, build a fence and see if it's done downloading. Thanks Chris.

No no, if I got upset that would mean I have no sense of humor and I'd have to fill out my own butt hurt report form.
