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? |

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...

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.

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?"
