The VSS is attached to the speedo gear on the 5speed cars correct? There is the gear and it drives what looks like a box that has the cable coming out of it.

VSS plays a part in the idle when slowing down correct (possible hanging or stumble that results in stall if not properly working)? Anything else besides cruise?

I noticed my Speedo was more or less working when it wanted to at slow speed and stop/accel driving. I have reason to believe my speedo gear (plastic gear on cable) is toast or something. Friday and Saterday I drove the car around and noticed at a stop the idle would stumble and want to stall. A quick rev when stoped broght it back and it would idle fine after that.
 
I seem to recall the driven gear has a wire as opposed to a cable that goes
up to the speedo unit :shrug:

I have seen some say if the VSS is faulty it will cause a hanging idle :shrug:

I've already told you more than I know about it Greg :)
