Default Speedometer/Odometer Weird Problem

Pulled my 2000 GT vert out of storage this weekend. Expected no problems as I start it regularly over the winter and let it warm up for 10-15 minutes while I sit in the drivers seat and dream of summer...

Yesterday was a differant story. Started right up no problem , but is running a little rough... and the speedo is pegged (150MPH), at idle! Will drop off slightly if rev'ed, but jumps back up at return to idle. Also the odometer is counting miles while sitting still, I assume at 150mph pace...

Anybody have any ideas? It is a 2000 GT vert 5spd with 70K on it.

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

Mike

Ouch[:@] something musta went screwy with the sending unit. Try disconnecting the battery for around 5 minutes, reconnect & try again
