Speedometer Problem
Couldnt find this problem with search, when i have my car parked in the garage at night, the next morning or the next time i drive it, the speedo doesnt work, if i park it outside and it gets warm from the sun it comes right on but if the car is cold at all the speedo doesnt work till i drive it for a while, anyone know what this could be?
I've had to exact opposite happen to my car. When it was cool, the speedo would work but when it got too hot, it would stop. It drove me crazy. I got a check engine light for it too. It said speed sensor malfunction or something. I replaced it with a known good one and it works perfect now.
I was told that sometimes the hardware can get worn out. I did notice the last owner did something shady. Because the check engine light bulb was actually removed when I first took it out to see if I can the fix it. So maybe they could've damaged something.

speed sensor is easy to do. its one bolt and one, 3 wire?, harness clip. as far as cost dont know sorry.
to do the sensor you just have to jack up the car on one side and you will see towards the back of the trans near the tail shaft.
