well i crawled under my car last night and saw that i had a little bit of Oil coming outa my front Main seal, maybe that is throwing the balancer off making my RPMS crazy??

Pull your codes.

Of course the MTX has a VSS. It's located at the base of the speedo cable.

Without your codes, you might as well fart into a hurricane.

Get the codes.

It also is not the CPS. When it fails, the RPMs drop and the engine stops running, perhaps momentarily, perhaps for a lot longer.

Sorry I posted the wrong info. Yes the MTX does have a VSS. As noted, it plugs into the spedo cable. I would have tried to fix my post, but I actually had to go back to work (go figure).

Nice catch!
