Speed Sensor intermittent failure



This happened to my 1997 Honda Accord.The speedometer refused to move when the vehicle is on the move,after a short distant the D4 indicator on the display panel start blinking,when the vehicle pick up speed,the engine light indicator also lighted up.The blinking D4 indicator refused to go off even when the vehicle is stationary.It disappear only when the engine is turn off.And it start all over again when it start moving.Send it to the mechanic at Honda S.C and was told it was the due to faulty speed sensor.Overall the cost is between RM350 to 400 to have it change.Send it to 3rd party mechanic who charge me only RM170 for similar part.

Speed Test on Toyota Ipsum 240s

This evening my friend invite me to Taiping for supper in his newly purchase MPV, year 2001 Toyota Ipsum 240s.I was given the passenger seat this video was captured using my Treo 650. The distance between my place to Taiping is about 76 km. The traffic was slightly heavy and the journey was about 35 minutes. The return trip was shorter because of less traffic and he did it in 25 minutes.Average speed he doing is about 160km/hr. One word to discribe the performance of this vehicle............its awesome.
