1998 speedometer
#2
speedo (the clock bushings) bad, it cant be fixed inside, need to find a working, old one. (ebay) ask for help matching numbers.
its misifiring, it may need tune up or just egr main, valve is sticking open. (located behind intake manifold rear runner.
any scan tool made can scan this suzuki, even those ebay $9 ones.
the CEL is probably removed or painted black by devils

the vss is just a reed switch in the speedo head, and if the odometer works , so does it.
but the scan tool will tell you , its bad. any way,.

the cable snapped will not cause the needle to stick high, its magnetically coupled, and always returns to zero. so long as the bushing
on said needle are not wrecked. check out the odometer next run, its is key check.


no, the VSS just helps you get full power up hills and at full speed.

misfire is bad combustion.
lots of causes for that.
but scan it, if say, you have P0301, then #1 cylinder is misfiring.
you really need to scan it, the CEL lamp is mostly a cutesy thing, scanning shows all errors, even those not turning on CEL.
i pay it no mind at all unless it comes on.
misfiring is daunting
over 50 ways and more counting bad engine parts.
1: never tuned up.? full via the 60k list?
2: egr stuck. (or sticks at ever stop sign)?
3: one guy this week had a leaking FPregulator. fuel pressure, at the rail. it was leaking gas to the vacuum dry side, and worse, dead)

i always start (new old car to barn) with a compression test. to see just how viable the engine is. 170psi+ wide open throttle.

id fix speedo last, some just buy a GPS speedo and plant it somewhere. or run and APP called speedo on their smart phone.


speedo
see that copper cub
it has a shaft and both sides he bushing fails and it flops around then jams in the end. its free floating mag, coupling.
if the cable spins so must that mag ring and the odometer. (odometer is key factor in diagnosis)
