I am not sure if this has come up before because I did mutiple searches and couldn't find anything. Well here is the issue. When I start my car the speedometer just randomly goes up to like between 40-80mph. Now once the car warms up it rests back down at the needle approx 2-3 minutes after start. Now once I start driving the speedometer shows around 10 times the actuall speed I am going. 5mph shows 50mph. Once the car is driven for like 30-minutes to over an hour at time it will finally even back out and start showing a correct reading. I haven't changed anything in the car recently besides putting in a SAFC II but I didn't mess with any non needed wires. I am really needing to figure out what is going on with this speedometer so any help would be very much appriciated. Thanks
 
No but the car sits for long periods of time. We haev put on a bunch of bolts on in the engine bay but electrically this is the only mod we have made.
