On the way to hockey last night the speedo in the car was intermittingly dropping out, all other gauges were fine. The speedo though would fluctuate wildy and occasionaly drop to zero, stay there, then suddely start working again only to start fluctuating etc..etc...I thought something was just quirky, but on the way to work this morning same thing only now it seems to be accompanied by a slight miss which is also intermitent and when you come to a stop the idle speed is hanging up around 1200 rpms then slowly returns to normal 700rpms +/-......

I did check to see if there was a binding situation at the throttle, but everything seems to be free and working properly, the floor mat is not hanging on the gas pedal in anyway..???

Our speedos are electrionic I am pretty sure so is the send on the tranny acting up? could this also cause the other problems?

Any ideas what would cause this?
