either the speedo sensor or it could be to do with when you disconnetced the cig ligter. id geuss the terminals are still live and occasionally toucking each other. have a look at that as the same happened to me.

That's because the ECU isn't getting a signal so doesn't idle, mine did the same thing when my speedo cable snapped

if your speedo is cable driven and it has snapped it will cause the ecu to show that the vvs isnt giving signal(vehichle speed sensor)
change the cable and it will be fine,if its electric it could be the transducer going into your box thats faulty

I used to keep spare change in my ashtray and a 5p got stuck in my cigarette lighter and kept on blowing the fuse. Took me ages to figure it out!
