i doubt the speedo head would do this , have the OBD codes read should give the sensor/switch at fault , you can also try some fuel addative , get one that covers the catalytic convertor as well as the valves etc, follow the makers instructions and take the vehicle for a longish drive (50-100 miles) so the engine gets to a good temperature, a dirty sensor , blocked injector etc could also be the cause and these some times do not show on early OBDII, keep me posted if you wish

Gas would do it all the time.Fuel filter may be stopping the flow of gas causing a misfire. It sounds water in gas but just at High RPMs like it is vapor locking (not getting the right amount of fuel). would change the Gas filter, Air filter, (gas Treatment to remove any water like Sta-Bil ).If it goes away your lucky. But it looks like a fuel pump is getting weak.

Sorry if this is a repeat on anything you have already done but fuel filter, check fuel pump pressure and volume, and also check throttle position sensor, do all that and let me know what the results are ok?

These tend to rust in place often, all I use is a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to pry it up and clean up the rust so the new sensor will fit in properly and not cause.abs problems. Anytime the hub is removed its usually best to have a new speed sensor on hand since its about 90% chance it will break

It is held in by a single bolt, remove the bolt and it just slides out.

CV Joint stands for a ( constant velocity) found on front wheel drive vehicles Has 2 laft and right.

In general-- a transmission that is failing You can remove the valve body & clean it, just keep in mind all the check balls fall out, so you will need a diagram of it After that-- you have to diagnose & replace any shift solenoids that apply Old vehicle & trans,I wouldn't change solenoids or try adjusting bands, unless you have trans repair experience
