my spedometer randomly will drop to 0 while driving then kick back into the speed I was at momentarily after…

1990 Auto 240SX is the car.

There is no speedo cable in a 240.

There is your speed sensor (passenger side at the back of the tranny) and your cluster.

I would check my grounds at the cluster then have a look at the sensor. pull it out and check to see if any teeth are broken on it. If not i bet it’s a wiring issue
