Default Vehicle Speed Sensor 2000 Accord

Hi All,
Main question:
1) How many VSS speed sensors does my honda accord have?
2) What is the Resistance measurement for a good part?

As per another thread I checked : https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...failure-14227/

That my sensor while installed in car (with connector disconnected) reads 480ohms at its terminals. Autozone says 190 to 250? But my car still works fine. Its $140 bucks so I want to be sure about it.
Is there another main shaft speed sensor like the counter shaft mentioned in the picture? can you please please point me the location, I could not find one easily?

Background:
I am having some long standing issues with my idle, especially "warm/ hot idle" (NOT Cold start idle).
Exactly like the problem here: (with no solution yet posted there) https://www.hondaaccordforum.com/for...l-start-36826/

Additionally my idle does not appear to be stable when warm, keeps hunting between 400-800rpm.

Recently when I was driving on a freeway I noticed at high speeds(80mph to 100mph range, only in that speed range so far) I saw my needle acting weird.. random jumps.. So I thot of going about finding problem with my VSS.

I have since got my EGR port cleaned at a Honda dealership, repalced EGR valve. (No codes on EGR since then) . Only EVAP leak code exists.(I know why and Ill fix it later). I have NOT done the spark plug tuning to it yet.

I had previously got Random Misfire code and each cylinder misfire code(P0300 - P0305) which I cleared and did not come back ever since but I know it will come back when my car has that bad intermittent stall start situation.

I want to find an answer to this and post it here for rest of the folks as well to help myself. Please help me guys.

Only 1 vss.

I would call a Honda dealer for the resistance specs.

Also if you have a evap leak then you most likely have a vacuum leak which is messing with your idle

Thanks for the reply Tek310, I was under the impression the EVAP leak was mostly emmissions related and I can take care of it later.. I did not think it can mess with my Idle.. Thanks for that.. I will look into it this weekend hopefully...

The dealer would not tell me the resistance spec for that part. They want me to come in and get it checked by a mechanic. They just lost a business. I would not go to them for anything now! Forget service. Not even to buy the part!! FOff you stinky dealers...

Anyways guys.. Here is the News:
There are 2 VSS in my Automatic 2000 Honda Accord Ex V6 Coupe. One on the Main shaft and another on the counter shaft. The one in he main shaft is a bit hidden. I also found the Resistance Range: it is 400-600 ohms. My counter shaft sensor read 490ohms. Now I have to test the main shaft one. Will update you guys.
