Intermittent Speedometer 850

Thanks for the response Klaus. I got the codes read and it looks like I have to investigate vacuum leaks as the codes are P0170 and P0440. No speedo code though. Now I did notice while driving her car that if the car started and I did not have to jiggle the key to put it in drive, the speedo worked the entire time I was driving it. Prior to that, if the key needed to be jiggled, the speedometer did not work. Now it gets confusing as after it started working and I made my astute observation, I tried starting it and needed to jiggle the key to get the tranny to unlock and the speedometer worked and didn't fail in its previously observed time frame.

I am going to replace the ignition switch. It would be nice if that fixed the speedometer too but I'll not hold my breath. Now I got to get to those vacuum leaks.

Thanks again.
