Ford Tempo The Ford Tempo is an American-built two-door coupe and four-door sedan produced by the Ford Company from 1984 to 1994. It was the successor to the Ford Fairmont, and was replaced in 1994 by the Ford Contour. The Tempo was part of a rejuvenation by Ford to offer more environmentally friendly, fuel efficient, and more modern styled models to compete with the imports.

the cluster in the gauge in your dash is failing.
swap it for a new one.
when your spedomitor gauge does the same thing replace the speed sensor that goes in the back of your trans.
