Narrative:

The aircraft had a history of a right engine speed card problem and erratic right N3 gauge. Before the flight; the speed card was changed. After takeoff; EICAS displayed right engine speed card; erratic right N3; and associated right engine bleed failure. Because of weather at the destination airport (and icing conditions); the flight was returned to the departure. An emergency was declared for overweight landing. The captain made a smooth 30 flap landing at 200;800 pounds.
