    I would guess that it is the Speed sensor attached to the transmission. If replacing that does not work, then the speedometer needs to be looked at next.

    Speedometer? I think the problem is in the tachometer.

    Similar sensor to the speed sensor but it is on the engine. I would check to see if it's dirty first and if not then potentially replace it.

    Sorry, I was thinking about my own problem which was the speed sensor in the transmission. Of course, you are having problem with the RPM sensor which is on the engine side.

    The problem have fixed after I unplug the phase sensor and used the cotton pad to clean the sensor surface.

    Nice job - a $0.00 repair! (And score one for Monteman who nailed the fix in his post #4.)
