Default EF B16 Problem...what do it sound like??

here's the problem (OBD0 B16 swap in 90 EF/PR3 ECU):
While driving today, CEL 17 (VSS) came up and the speedometer died on me. I started to notice my tach fluctuating, my fuel gauge raise from 1/2 tank to full, and the temperature gauge rising from normal to a little above the half way point. I noticed the gauges acting up say if I signaled or turned the hazard lights on and went back to normal when the signals were off.

I popped the hood and noticed my speedometer cable broke...so that answers my non-working speedometer problem. Does anyone think the broken speedo has anything to do with the problem with my the other gauges or is it a totally different problem? Any ideas?

TIA

Anyone else had a similar situation like this? mine didn't jerk, but the gauges went crazy! i just hope it's not the alternator.
