And please don't say "Absolutely Nothing! - say it again, Ahhhh...."
Actually I know the VSS affects the speedo and odometer if it does not function properly, but since it is on the same circuit as the Crankshaft Position Sensor and Camshaft position sensor, can it also affect how the car runs? Does the PCM use the VSS signal for anything?
Just curious.
PS: if you don't get it, you are either way too young or don't like 60's music.

According to the wiring diagram the VCC lead is T'd off to both the speedo and the PCM

actualy i just had a problem wit my neon recently. it was jerking the car when i would accelerate and would die when i turned corners. turns out the speed sensor was shot and was drawin power from the cam an crank sensors. so somewhat it affects how it drives but once u get it pulled out it drives perfect. so ya ha
