The rpm and speedometer dropping to zero while driving can indicate a loss of power to the vehicle's electrical system, which may be caused by a failing alternator, a dead battery, or a malfunctioning ignition system. It could also suggest issues with the vehicle's speed sensor or transmission. In some cases, it may point to a more serious problem, such as a complete engine failure or a fault in the vehicle's computer. If this occurs, it's essential to pull over safely and diagnose the issue.
speed sensor
try tracing the wiring if an electronic speedometer it might have broken by the trans.
Quite possibly vehicle speed sensor
Have it checked for codes, the code will tell you what to diagnose.
I assume it's working and you just want to check the calibration of the speedometer. I recommend you use a GPS to check it since those devices have a speed indicator included in their many features. If your speedometer is indicating zero when the car is moving, you likely need a new speedometer. If it's reading zero when the car is moving, try clapping the dash above the instrument to see if the speedometer moves off zero. If it does, then you 100% need a new one. If it doesn't, then you 90% need a new one because you have about a 10%chance that it's the car's speed sensor which might be in the transmission. Not a big deal ($) that, the bigger deal ($$$) would be the speedometer itself.
Probably needs brake fluid, normal as pads wear down. Level decreases slightly in cold weather.
Yes, and what you described sounds just like that or a missing thermostat. ( like someone took it out )
It's ( back down foward down square while you are in sweeping distance.)
nono
Bad connection somewhere? Loss of power? (check and wiggle fuse)
if timing belt brakes while driving,will it damage motor.
possible O2 sensor.
