My speedometer is intermittent, and my tachometer only moves sometimes, and it jumps all over the place.

I am probably going to try replacing the vehicle speed sensor and see if that helps the speedometer. Any suggestions for the tachometer? Where is the sensor that gives the RPM's?

Thank you for any help with this issue!

I agree that this is most likely the vehicle speed sensor. I attached the testing and information for it. I would suggest to move forward with testing and replacement and see what happens but I suspect that may fix both issues.

Let us know what happens. Thanks
