Ok it is finally driving me nuts and I have asked before and never gotten a straight responce! My tachometer is driving me crazy. It works sometimes then it spikes to 9000 rpm and does that horible buzzer!!! and gets stuck there till i bang on the steering wheel. People will start to say that there is a guy in a second gen RX-7 that is crazy and drives beating on the steering wheel.



It is driving me nuts. and since we are already talking about the gauges my oil preassure dosent work neither!!! I could really use some help..

The wire for the tack hooks up at the trailing coil maybe it has a lose connection.

Yeah its the one in the back. You could always follow the trailing plug wires to figure it out to.

so basically just look around for any loose wires, and if I dont find any? will a bad clusted do this even though some times it works perfect.
