Speedometer dying?

[AGD202]

My speedometer keeps going from my current speed 55-70 down to 21 mph. The needle just falls down there and won't move for a while then it goes back to the correct place. Anyone ever have this happen?

Sorry for all the qestions lately. My car is having a midlife crisis or something and I'm dumb.
Thanks in advance.

bad speed sensor? is the engine stalling or is acceleration jumpy?

I'd get it scanned at Autozone or someplace similar

My speedo just plain doesnt work
I think it may be the speed sensor, but where to get a new one?

i had the same issue. turned out mine was just a fuse. i still had all my dash lights and everything, but nothing on my cluster worked.

The car runs perfectly no stalls or jumpy acceleration. I'll see about getting the speed sensor checked. Thanks.

speed sensor is my first guess here

Mine has the same problem, but my acceleration is jumpy what could be the problem?

too many tech questions in here. Start your own thread to get an answer.

To the original poster, It could be the connection on the vss or the vss itself. vss= vehicle speed sensor.
