The "math" is done by the ECM. Does the speedo work? If your getting some type of reading then you may have a connection problem before, in, or after the cluster or an ECM problem.

You can try to reseat the connectors on the ECM & instrument cluster to see if that helps. Got any other cluster/ECM related problems that might help to narrow it down further?
