Idle messed, and speedo no working

Last week i broke my torque arm and after i fixed it, my cars speedo isnt working. not sure if that hasnt anything to do with it or not.

anyways that isnt the main problem, when i start my car it runs fine idle is all good around 900rpm then as soon as i start driving it when i comming to a stop the idle goes down to about 400 and stays there and feels like it wants to stall. it has twice. The check engine light usually comes on after a few minutes and once the check engine light comes on the car starts to idle at stops properly again

any ideas of what might be wrong?

Re: Idle messed, and speedo no working

sounds like the VSS or connector/wiring was disconnected/damaged when the torque arm was fixed(no VSS signal to the PCM will do what you are describing)
