Default cosworth problem

My 92K 4x4 has an erratic speedo and rev counter plus its mis firing slightly too. Any ideas? Have checked and cleaned the three plugs at the back of the engine and the idle control plug too. Any help appreciated thanks

Try the ignition module, it won't cure the erratic speedo though that's cable operated,

Check the engine wiring loom plugs behind the cylinder head. They can cause a misfire and jumping rev counter.
