Could be a bad speed sensor. Are you throwing a code?

i know that if it was your dizzy your tach would be jumping like crazy. i know this sounds stupid but check your grounds. i had a similar problem where my speedo wouldnt work, turned out to be a couple of loose grounds from the engine.

i've got roughly the same problem. since a b16 swap and gsr tranny, my speedo works sometimes, doesnt others.... and doesnt like to work for about 10 miles once the car was on, and speedo working, then shut off.

check all your harness connections, plugs and everything, makes sure they are clean. my tach used to jump around or not work, but once the connectors were clean, its been working 100% since.

good luck, and let us know if you find the fix.
