    Speedometer jumps around sitting still

    The speedometer in my 01 cobra randomly jumps up to between 120-160 mph sitting still then back to 0 mph. This is putting extra miles on my car so I would like to fix it ASAP. Once I start moving it calms down and works fine. Any ideas? Do you think it is just a bad speed sensor in the...

    Won't idle on cold startup?

    My 2001 Cobra does not want to idle on cold startup. It will just idle up to about 1500 rpm then die. I have to give it gas for about 10-15 seconds to get it to want to sit and idle. Acts to me like its not automatically choking like it should. It does have an aftermarket bbk 65mm throttle...
