Classic VSS problem. Go get a new one at the junk yard.

check your connection at the vss, i had the same thing happen and ended cleaning the connector because it had too much resistance and only worked when i drove through water

so check that connector first!

ok well i changed the vss and now it doesnt work at all. ill check the connectors right now.

yeah whenever its cold out with my car, something causes the speedo to act up. If i punch the dash hard enough than it works and it jumps up to 180 then it comes back down to 30 (speed in which im travelling)

probably got a bad replacement vss. but still check for any obvious breaks in the wires as well as moisture around them.
