Bouncing speedo needle, MINES TOO!

[Derick Farfan <bg18461@binghamton.edu>]

I am having the same problem in my 88' 90, it started about 2 weeks ago.  When i run
the computer diagnostic, i get hall sender as one of the codes, could this be
causing the bouncing speedometer.  Also experience a real loss of power.
