Default '91 Speedo Prob

The speedometer on my ’91 convertible does not register for the first ten minutes or so on first start in for the day then it just kicks in. Any thoughts?

I haven't had this problem with my vettes, but I did in my 97 Dodge Ram. When the engine was cold I could drive for about 5 miles before my speedometer or odometer would start working. Sometimes my check engine light would come on and sometimes not. I went to Autozone and they check it and said it was the speedsensor. I replaced it and it has worked since. Maybe someone else can chime in with some more suggestions.

Thanks for the tip. My check engine light does come on for about three minutes.
