Default Speedo stoped working for a short time....

Hey guys last week I decided to take the Formula for a spin. I had not driven the car in about a week and it was around 20 degrees outside. After about a 15 min warm up I took off and noticed after 5 min or so that my speedo was not moving at all. All the other gauges worked fine. I stoped and turned the car off, then started her back up and the speedo worked???? I have never seen this happen before. Any ideas why this happened??

It was sitting for about a week or so, The reason I was a bit more worried is that I installed my headers the week before, I did not know if that had any thing to do with it????? Its fine now but I just thought it was odd

What is "VSS"? I bought a used 2000 gauge cluster months ago and just tried it the other day for the first time. All the gauges work except for the speedo. I would like to know if it is possible to fix.

I'm guessing it's vehicle speed sensor. Is that replacable...or worth replacing if it is?
