1994 Tach Problems and Distributor
I am wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and knows what the problem is:
Have a 1994 VX, runs good. With the ignition key in the OFF position, the Tach Needle shows 0 RPM, but when I turn the key ON, it reads 1500 RPM. Start the car and it reads 1500 RPM, even when it is warmed up, the engine sounds like less than 1000 RPM but the tach still reads 1500 RPM.
When driving, the tach is very slow to go even up to 4000 RPM, I know it has long gears but I am in 2nd and doing 60MPH and it still shows 4000 RPM.
I found the wiring to the back of the cluster, the tach wire is blue, I guess in the wiring connector to the right of the cluster.. What is wrong?
Also, do the distributors go out on these cars? the power is good on this car, but every once in a while, it seems like it looses its "performance curve" or ignition advance, by backfiring..
