I used to have a 91 Daytona and the speedo acted up. Sometimes it wouldn't work, sometimes it would. Sometimes while decellerating from 70mph the speedo would stick on 70 for a while before dropping to normal. I put a speed sensor in it and didn't have any more problems. Hope that helps!

Don't wanna hijack, but I was gonna post this question as well. 97 Neon, same symptoms as above,except for the sticking. Is it worth the time to remove the sensor and clean connections, or should I just replace it?
Now, will scanner show a code if the speedo IS working at the time I plug in the scanner? Or only when the speedo is dead?

"You should check for fault codes first. If there is one it could be a sensor. Also verify if the odometer does not work at the same time. If it does work and the mph needle does not the problem could be in the speedo head/cluster."
When the speedo quits, the odo and trip meter also quit. Have scanner, will check!

If the speedo does not work the computer should induce and store a code.
No speedo,odo, etc for most of the time I was running around this morning. Came back to life a couple miles from home. I'll order up the speed sensor. Hopefully it does the trick.

If the speed sensor pops back to life at all, even for a second, it'll automatically clear the code in the computer. Mine was like that too, intermittantly dieing, changed speed sensor and all was good.

It will not automaticly clear the code. The code will stay for aprox 50 ignition cycles.

Sure about that? Cause mine never set a code and I checked it a few times. But change the sensor and problem was gone forever...?
Started tearing into gauge cluster. Poor connection between cluster and dash wiring. Gave terminals a little twist to improve connection. Result: still intermittent at best. Built up terminals with a little solder. Same result! 
Maybe there is a break in the wiring somewhere. I haven't found it yet! I feel your frustration with this. We probably put 10-15 miles on the car, on the hoist trying to find the "sweet" spot where the speedo would run consistently. 
If we ever trace it down, I'll give you a heads up.
