Default RPM Gauge Problem

Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my RPM gauge. When I turn my car on the needle automatically goes over 1 & 1/2 RMPS and stays there. When I turn the car off, the RPM needle goes back to 0. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks.

Yeah, of course it goes up when I accelerate.

The problem is that it never did this before. It started about last Saturday. Before when I turned on the car it always stayed at 0, then moved up when I drove like normal, but never went up right when I started the car.

[sm=smiley22.gif][sm=smiley5.gif] Thats weird. I've had this car for over two months and it's been like that. I guess everything is fine then.

Thanks everyone.
