So my speedometer is fucced

[Captain-Obvious™]

when I turn my key it goes straight up to twenty and stays there no matter how fast or slow I am going. But sometimes it decides it wants to work properly and just shoots up unprovoked to the correct mph. then without warning it will just drop back to twenty. No what I am asking is...would this be a speed sensor problem? because some have told me it could be that my cluster is just bad? but I took that out and the needle seems to move fine and all that so I am thinking speed sensor but I wanted some other opinions before I go out and spend my money on the wrong part.

I think if it was the speed sensor you would read 0 not 20. get a speedo from and friends car and plug it up it see if it works if it does than ur cluster is bad. if not could be a bad ground or speed sensor.

let us know cause my girlfriends accord does the same thing, half the time it works and the other time it just sits at 20 mph......

my rpm meter does that... or it just goes up from 1 to 2k then 3k ... or it just sticks at 2k. :/
