The problem is intermittent, some days the car is a dream to drive (with 240K miles!), other days it has trouble.

Bottom line, if the speedo is working, the car is great. If the speedo isn't working, it won't come out of 1st gear. Sometimes it goes to second when the speedo is dead, but when it does, it doesn't stay in second very long.

I've tried pulling over and turning the car off and restarting it, but that doesn't seem to work. I'll get it home, turn it off and the next day, it drives like new.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
