My 99 cougar 2 dr v6 started lugging this morning. Also at the same time my speedometer stopped working. I stomped on the gas a couple times and the lugging stopped for a second and speedometer started. When I had the chance I took it to 60 and everything was working right. Once in town and second or third gear the lugging started and speedometer stopped. Any ideas?

I had it scanned and got nothing. My check engine light was on but that was for the O2, as soon as he reset it it stayed off.
