is the mileage counter on your cluster working too? if not, then its most likely the speedometer cable coming loose or is damage. easy replacement and not expensive.

my hold light was flashing and i have the same car, i looked under the hood and on the throttle body one of the electric connections was loose just a bit... i pushed it in and that was it... may be something like that... also check all your fuses. :pimp:

My 92' SOHC MX-3, did the same thing, i pulled the Speedometer cable out of the tranny, and found that the little plastic gear in the tranny was all screwed up. And there isn't a speed sensor on it, it's either your speedometer cable or that little gear. -Joe
