Broken tach!
 

I backed out of the shop this morning and I noticed when my car was idleing my tach was reading like the car wasent even turned on the needle was dropped way below 0 rpms


I drove the car to work and I noticed when I should have been at 3k rpm the tach was only reading 1k so I'm thinking something is wrong I haven't done any aftermarket upgrades to the car yet so it's 100% stock

Should I take it in?

You need to ask us whether to get your car fixed? :rolleyes: Dude bring it in, get it fixed (while you can for free)?

Is a bull frog waterproof?

Is a bull frog water proof?? Why even post a reply if your gonna say that.

since the tach is still operational...

have you tried disconnecting the battery to reset the ecu...

just a thought, may save you a trip to the dealer, then again may not...

Thank you, kdo2milger, for an educated response.

I'll give that a try. I appreciate it.

:tiphat:

hopefully it works...

I'd argue the tach is not operational. Likewise, sure, maybe you can reset the thing. But, it failed for a reason. I bet it'll keep failing. Why mess with it yourself? Take it straight to the dealer and let them replace/repair it.

I guess you just don't get it?Now I understand why you felt the need to ask if you should take it to the dealer!

:iagree:....Stupid question, Witty answer. Thin skinned?

:iagree:

At least somebody understands.Thanks!

why do ppl always ask if they should take it to the dealer, its like they are asking whether to turn themselves in.....lol


you should not take it in and just live with it

my thing is i wouldnt want a dealer to touch my car unless it was something beyond my level of maint...

maybe he just doesnt like the idea of a someone else messing with the z...

just my thoughts...i guess when it comes to my baby, i dont want anyone touching it but me...

Blown32, I liked that comment "Is a Bull Frog waterproof?" hahah

To the OP, maybe this one will make more sense, "Does a bear shit in the woods?"

this would be warranty work, just tell them to fix it without ruining anything..... if not........ die........lol

It's under warranty, and taking it in to get fixed is too logical. I would live with it for a while.

:bowrofl:

whats a few mph and a few rpm anyways

Because you asked a question that really, should not have been asked. :shakes head:

what about the gas level and coolant temp???

:icon14:

:icon08:

I fixed it thanks anyways didn't mean to make it a huge issue with all of you maybe stupid questions do intern require a stupid answer

nm the O.G.s...im curious to know what fixed it...

Reseting the computer accually did it.

nice! :tiphat:

reebox?

iphone later...

kdo saved another worthless thread! :tup:

Hey it wasn't worthless! Guy had a legitimate problem. I would have taken it to the dealer...

So ECU reset fixed it....maybe. Time will tell. :tup:

Shoulda' left it broken. Real drivers don't need a tach, just listen to the engine rev.




;)

very true...

tachs are for show!
