Default 03 Taurus crazy speedo, and dies at stoplight

OK as said it's an 03, the speedometer will sometimes freakout and while in park it will start jumping around between 20 and 30 mph. While in my driveway I was shifting if from drive to reverse to see if the speedo jumping around would stop, when I put in park the car shut off ??? I started it again and the speedo was fine, no more jumping. It happenes every so often but not all the time.

It has also started dying when I come to a stop after normal driving. Kind of just stumbles then cuts off. It starts right up and drives fine after that. Hmm, here is some specs:

3.0L
94,000 miles
Auto

Any possibility it might be a bad ECM, our sensor for the Speedo? The tach does not jump around. I'm also thinking it may need a fuel injector and top end cleaning with the miles on it. I bought this at 91000 for my daughter, any expert suggestions will be lvery helpful. Thanks gang...
