it would have to be like over 120 or below -30 Degrees to affect current like that...

Might just be a bad connection period.....

The only case I could find that may possibly be related to the issue says this:

There have been a few cases with wiring issues in Engine compartment on right side of vehicle near the PCM where the harness rubs against the Air Conditioning line. If this is noted to be the cause repair the harness drive the vehicle and recheck for any codes.

That is the only documentation I could find related to erratic speedo operation.
