As another poster suggested, is your trip odometer reset pin stuck in?
If its stuck or its switch is malfunctioning, your instrument panel will go
into test mode, cycling
the speedo in 10 mph increments as you describe. The other gauges also go
full scale for a few
seconds in test mode. It's actually a good feature, as long as it doesn't
happen all of the time....
