    I have a 2006 Pontiac grand prix with the 3.8 and when I am on the highway right around 68 - 72 my tach starts jumping and the car feels like it is jerkyin but than it stops and might not to it agian for a while. I was reading online that it might be a vss (vehicale speed sensor)??? also if someone knows where that is located it would be helpful. please help thank you
