CPS has nothing to do with the speedo. It sounds to me like you have a problem with the VSS drive, either the socket is stripped or a gear is broke.

OK, I'm assuming this was with the key on? Dumb question but gotta start somewhere.

Next thing to check would be continuity to ground on the blue/black wire (key on).

OK, now you're gonna have to get deeply involved. Unplug the PCM and check continuity between the white/orange wire at the VSS plug and the white/orange wire at the PCM.
