Probably broken inner cable .Surprised a car of that year still had a cable as opposed to speed sensor .

Have you tested leads with a meter to make sure they are ok. ? Could be coil pack fault . A diagnostic test scans engine for faults and gives out codes . Is speedo cable turning ok from gearbox end ?
