My wife just purchased a 94 Accord EX, automatic and have noticed some intermittent problems and was wondering if anyone has any info that would help.

1: The speedometer on occasions stop working ands just sits at zero.

2: The car would sometime shut off while driving, this has happen about 4 times but would just start right back up.

3: The RPM needle would jump to about 3500 - 4K rpm really fast if you just tap on the gas pedal and settle down after that, sometimes it would drop really fast as if the car would shut off when making a sudden stop.

These are the 3 problems we have noticed so far.

The car has 87K miles and was purchased about 5 days ago.

Any help for a newbie would be appreciated.

Thanks.
