The speedometer doesn't move and the engine sounds out of gear, does not accelerate

When I try to accelerate, the speedometer doesn't move and the engine sounds out of gear on my 1992 Toyota 4 Runner. If I keep driving it, eventually it will accelerate OK and seems to get back in gear, but speedometer still does not work sometimes. Other times it all works fine.

There is an electronic module called ECT under the dash that controls the transmission ( a small computer), however if you had your vehicle serviced in the recent past the wiring connector (a 3 Pin connector) under the Drivers side (LHD) just before the T/case could have become loose or the wires broken, check this connector out.

throttle position sensor .. this lets the computer know just where your foot is on the gas .. It gets worn out in that position because that is where it is used the most. I would check it first then go from there... they are priced reasonable .. always start with the least expensive first then go from there. thanks Jerry holler if you need more

There are usually two to three transmission sensors on most vehicles
sounds like it may have gotten damaged possibly hitting something in the road. You could take it to Autozone they may be able to help you locate the bad sensor. Or call them.

SOURCE: Transmission issue - almost no reverse & clacking

I've got exactly the same problem in '93 Camry w/5SFE automatic w/248,000mi. Transmission shop I trust told me ****** was gone. Another mechanic said the same. I'll drive it 'til the forward gears stop working. Forward L,2,D work great, except downshifting doesn't slow the car at all, although the engine goes to idle.

Let me know if there is any easy fix! Already did a fluid & filter change. . . .results no change. Thanks, cc

Broken Speedometer?

You are correct in thinking if the speed sensor fails the check engine light should be on, and you should experience problems with the transmission.
It sounds like just the speedo has failed.

While driving, The speedometer needle sometimes doesn't move from zero.

IS this a Chevrolet? What year?

There is a known problem with the Instrument Clusters and you have to replace the Stepper Motors to get it to work correctly..

This is true for most Makes and Models but Especially in GM Products I will only rebuild a Cluster with a X27.168 Stepper Motor

My car cut's when am driving,it stops pulling,when i step on the accelerator only the rave counter moves the, speedometer doesnt move.when you stop for sometime again it picks up

If it's an automatic, I think your transmission is gone. Done. Done in.
If the engine wants to roar, but the legs won't move, well, it's the transmission. When the fluid inside it gets hot again, the gears start slipping.
That's my take on it, humphrey, but of course check the fluid level and quality or appearance and smell, you know, before you do anything. If it was real low on fluid, like over a couple of quarts or even one, you might get lucky and keep it full and not have any more problem. If the fluid is real dark, dark brown or dark red, and has a distinctly burnt smell, ...that's very not good. The fluid should be clear and red or pink in color. Have someone confirm or not if your transmission is bad. good luck.

1996 nissan altima no acceleration and poor idle?

check whether you might have a catalyst problem,1. doesn't idle as no emissions let out of the exhaust system,2. doesn't accelerate as the engine is pressurized as no released emission. Try to check by requesting somebody to accelerate as steady and you check through the end of your exhaust pipe if the emission outlet sound is loud enough or if is like weak sound.if is the second result surely your cat is the problem as also you receive a smell of a rotten egg as well.

I have a 1999 Chrysler 300M. Simultaneously, the Check Engine light came on, the speedometer stopped working, and the car doesn't shift out of 2nd gear. What's the likely problem?

these vehicles have alot of problems with the tcm( tranmission control module) internal failures of trans speed sensors. your car is currently in "limp in mode" to protect your trasmission!!!

When accelerating, my speedometer goes in reverse.

I would recommend you try to perform a fuel system pressure test. The specifications are available by calling the dealer. It seems you have a fuel delivery problem, possibly a bad fuel driver module or pump and that is located in the fuel tank. Follow the precautions when performing the test. If you hard accelerated and the vehicle stumbles or has a "dead spot" on acceleration then it's a good indication that it's a fuel delivery issue. The reason for the speedo going wacky is because the vehicle is not performing properly !!

It won't change gears and speedometer is jerky

I had the same problem with my 2002 Grand Caravan. It turned out to be a broken wire attached to the speed sensor on the transmission housing. Try that first!
