I plug the scaner after i have driven the car vehicle speed sensor code is present again 3. change the plugs 4.check fuel pressure its at 50-51 psi (good) 5. I tried checking the spark from the wire i don't have the right tool for that so i used a screwdriver to metal i had some one crank the car but the time frame were its having trouble i did not see spark till it actually started to run and i tried to do the same to another wire but i could not do it because of room
