My speedometer stopped working about a month ago, the idle started acting up then also. Now when the car idles it stalls, i have to down shift to keep the rpms up just to stop it from stalling? So what could it be?
Is it probably the speed sensor switch?

Thank You

The speedometer problem has to do with the vehicle speed sensor.

The stalling, is most likely your idle air control valve.
