You are going to have to test some wires. It is probably some kind of short. My gas gauge does the same thing and my friend had the same problem after his car got struck by lightning .

Check your speedo sensor, or VSS.

It could be a number of things, including your ignitor. Do you experience a loss of power at all?

The ignitor makes your tach bounce like crazy, not your speedometer.

If it was the VSS, the tach would probably do the same thing as well as throw a code.
