It's likely that your Dak's speed sensor may be going bad.

Is it an automatic transmission?

Try this, before you start replacing things. Just re-set your computer and let it re-learn everything. Disconnect your negative battery terminal and turn the key as if you are cranking it over but hold it for about 20 seconds. Then re-connect your negative terminal. This will re-set the computer and will take about 200 miles for it to re-learn all the sensor setting. The bad thing, though, it will erase any error codes that the dealer may need to diagnose the problem...but if the problem re-occurs, then the error codes will be back. Then try whatever else you want to do, including, seeing the dealer.

Midnightdak, The speed sensor a) sends speed readings to the speedometer b) is used by the rear abs c) sends a signel to the ecm as you decelerate to 'bump up' the idle.

CW would be the man to ask.
