About a month ago I took an interstate road trip with my 99. I had my cruise
control set at about 78 MPH. I had driven about 30 minutes when I noticed
that my speedometer was now reading around 85 MPH. Not wanting a ticket I
tapped the brakes and started coasting trying to get under 80 while watching
the tach. I dropped nearly 500 RPM but the speedo continued to read 85. I
continued slowing until my speedo jumped down to about 60. Okay now I pick
back up to 78 set the cruise and check the tach. Again later the speedo has
climbed but the tach is still steady. Other symptoms I have noticed
sometimes the speedo doesn't move smoothly. It will jump in 5 or more MPH
increments. This may occur while accelerating or decelerating. Anybody seen
this in their gauges? I wish there were still cable drive....
Thanks,
