Hey guys,

I decided to check codes today on my scanner. I got codes 29 and 33. The egr is deleted so I'm not worried about that one. Now my car does NOT have cruise control, and I have a autometer speedometer along with there hall affect speed sensor.

Link below.

SENSOR, SPEED, MECH TO ELEC, FORD PLUG-IN, HALL EFFECT, 16 PULSE

5292 Sensor, Speed, Mech to Elec, Ford Plug-In, Hall Effect, 16 Pulse
www.autometer.com

Is this something I need to look further into?

I bought the car this spring. I fixed a few things here and there. I recently found a few harness clips that are broken. I have a spare injector harness that I might swap some connectors over or buy the whole new harness from LMR.

Mild 306 hci.

Is the speed sensor still on the trans? Still have the drive gear in it?

I honestly don't know. I'm not sure if that can be used with the autometer speed sensor. The car is at my storage unit. I ran codes there. I'll have to bring it by the house.

If the sensor is still in the trans and the gear is still there you likely can just plug it in so the computer reads it's there, if not I think it will make no difference. If the autometer sensor is installed where the old cable is then you will just have a code and likely will affect nothing.

Stock sensor is variable reluctor. The ECU is unable to use the Hall effect sensor.

The ECU uses the speed sensor to determine when the car is slowing down. When it fails, a common issue is the engine will stall out when coming to a stop.
