Okae I have an 89 gt vert, when I bought the car last year I had a speedometer and rpm problems. I changed the speed sensor and it works now but seems to be giving me the wrong speed and the rpm needle shoots up too 4000 rpms and stays there till I turn off the car. Anyone have a idea what's the issue.

Thanks Dre
