Guys...thanks for your help.

the tach has occasionally acted up and read either "0" when i was
driving pretty fast, or rested at a high position when the car was
shut off...and that was actually where the problem started...but since
it has migrated to the speedometer and has stayed there. i will
have it looked at by another garage and see what they think.

i appreciate your feedback!
