Ok, I drove the car a while and the code went away, but now I'm kicking a few other codes. IAT, easy fix, I'll slap a new one in as soon as I can. The second one is the Idle Air Control Valve Control Circuit. I've seen this on this site when I did a search and it appears that my first course of action will be cleaning the throttle body. The most confusing one for me right now is the Vehicle Speed Sensor malfunction code. I was told by a few places that the main issue on these cars is a bad pin-out on a failing gauge control module, which I had replaced two years ago and the code just came back this week. I don't believe it is the sensor itself or a bad connection as the speedometer never fluctuates and it is accurate at all times. There are a number of speed zones here that have the digital readout on the side of the road and the speedometer is always reading at 1 mph fast, which I know is common.
First question, would a dirty throttle body cause the car to die when starting? I know it can make it idle low, so I'll try that first as I said.
Second question, is there another issue I should know about with the VSS's on these cars, or am I having an unusual issue?
