Do you have a check engine light? If so, get it scanned by a repair facility to make sure you don't do any unnecessary repairs. It could be many things, such as an o2 sensor or throttle position sensor just to name a couple. If you don't have. Check engine light, sounds like a faulty engine control unit. Again, have someone scan it with a computer. It will save you money in the long run.

If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
