3 rpm and speedometer dont allways work, some time s one work sometimes the oher nd sometimes both, but most of the times both dont work.

Answer
Sounds like a case of deferred maintenance because you have too many problems.

For the stalling, step one is to check the volumn and pressure of the fuel pump. If that proves ok then the ignition module becomes a suspect as well as the ignition switch.

For the high rpm look for an air leak between the airflow meter and the intake manifold gaskets.

For the instrument panel you probably have bad crimp connections.
