sounds like the speedo head. my 94 did that. you can either send it off to a speedo repair place (no swimsuit jokes, please), or get a new one....

i would guess its not the vss, cause your symptoms are identical to mine, but i beleive that if the cruise still works, its not the vss....but dont quote me on that.

It's the VSS. You are lucky.
Cruise doesn't work when speedo doesn't work = VSS problem.
Cruise works even when speedo is not working = speedo problem. On mine the cruise works even when the speedo doesn't, which means there is something wrong internaly with the speedo. That means I have to pull the speedo and send it to a speedo shop.

Hmmmm....now I'm stumped. Maybe it is something internal with the speedo? I really don't know. Hopefully one of our experts will get on here and comment.
