i did replace the cluster i replaced it with a new one and it is doing the same thing and i cant afford to take it to the shop

Could be the plug connections on the harness side are corroded.

Also, was any electrical work done just before this started?

i had the same problem... my ecu was frying up. i replaced the ecu and it fixed the problem.

cant afford all that now!!!! im thinking about a bicycle speedo but i dont think that would pass inspection

Check EVERY one of you ground wires around the engine. I have had this same problem before and it was a bad engine ground to body. (almost drove me crazy for a WEEK). Also check batt cables pos and neg could have a break. Probably nothing wrong with cluster... Hope this helps.

like everyone else has said it could be the wiring or something along those lines
