Hi new girl here with car problems
hey everybody maybe someone can help me, my car just started this, it doesn't do it all the time just most of it, when i'm sitting still the speedometer will say i'm doing 20 mph and the idle needle will jump up even though the car is not idling that high, when i'm driving the speedometer will say i'm doing anywhere between 20 mph and 40 mph above what i'm actually doing and the idle needle is jumping around, the AC aggervates it, anyone have any ideas cause i don't i'm thinking electrical but i've never seen anything like this HELP!!!!!! , Thanks

Re: Hi new girl here with car problems
hello and welcome to the forums!!!
Yes the speedo is electric... this can only be one of four things with what you have told us... #1 the speedo needs to be replaced, #2 the computer is acting up, #3 the coil, or #4 the rear speed sensor... My money is on the speedo... Did you replace the gears recently???

Re: Hi new girl here with car problems
yeah, speedo's comp controlled...
i dont quite understand why the a/c would make the condition worse if it was just the speedo. im leaning towards computer or coil...

Re: Hi new girl here with car problems
ahh.. similar problem happened in my car.. i had no idea how to fix it.. so i figured.. electrical.. maybe i got a bad fuse.. i went through and replaced all my fuses inside the car and it stopped.. i dont know why.. but it did.. and i was happy.. i had a few bad fuses, i forget what they were to.. but it stopped.. the only difference is that the needle would go all over the place whenever it felt like it.. it wasnt a constant.. i'd be doing like 30 and it'd read 70 for a second.. then 35.. then 10.. it was weird as hell. but thats what i did.. im not sure if it'll help you or not..
