I'd suspect the VSS is failing. VSS is your vehicle speed sensor, its mounted on top of the pumpkin. This one sensor sends your vehicle speed to your speedo, trans and abs system.

I agree with what was said. You might try taking the sensor off and clean it and the connection. If that don't work, NAPA has them. NAPA calls them the ABS sensor.
