IAT is not going to cause the speedometer not to work.

Sounds like you have a significant electrical issue.

Significant vacuum leak somewhere, IAT, and/or vehicle speed sensor.

[JLw7123]

I found plastic peices that cover the wires and lines under my car I just found them

[sh8dybizness]

Have you done the obvious and check the trans fluid? Also if you could pull the code the check engine light is throwing it would help!

I was also thinking of VSS. A way of doing s crude check on the VSS that (at least on my Escort) the cruise control uses the VSS signal, so if the VSS is bad, the cruise control doesn't work. Again, on my Escort, the transmission uses the signal generated by the VSS.

VSS = vehicle speed sensor.

I'm also wondering if you have more than one problem. How many miles are on the car?

[RisenequinoX]

the cruise control on my alero didnt work because i had low brake fluid....

WTF? Please explain!

At least the VSS -> transmission thing makes sense.
