Hmmm...I believe that the code 14 for your Vehicle Speed Sensor may cause the faulty speedometer behavior that you described. I am not sure about the cruise control issue though.

These things don't usually go bad often, so if yours IS bad, you could do well to just swap a used one on. They are located pretty low on the tranny end. To remove if you'll need an open end 10mm wrench.. be careful not to strip that bolt, it's a PITA to remove if you do. Also, its plug resides near the front of the tranny, where the bellhousing mates with the engine block.

If someone out there has a FSM, please chime in. There is a procedure for testing the sensor with a voltmeter. I am not sure what the readings should reflect. 0.5 volts or something. I don't recall what the process is off the top of my head.

Let me know how it goes hotrodguy.
