Check your VSS plug on top of the tranny housing.

yah i had the same problem, it would spike every now and then and sometimes just sit there till eventually it completely stopped working. I got so many ****** speeding tickets after that =\ I had to replace the vehicle speed sensor (the mechanical unit in the transaxle.) It's about $40 at a junkyard and you shouldnt have any problems afterward.

Probably needs a new speedo head. The speedometer and odometer both run off the same signal.
