my tach (the RPM gauge) is stuck up high. it doesnt drop down to 0...even when the car is turned off. its stuck way up there too...like around 4500 or so...any idea how to fix this?

 

i'm sure other people had to have had this problem and fixed it...

 

Replace the tach?

Does it budge or move slightly at all, ever? Could take the tach needle off and set it at 0 RPM and see if it helps.

 

ya it moves up and down with the RPMs but its starts up at like 4500 or so instead of zero? so you're saying i can take the needle off and just put it back down at zero?

 

wouldn't hurt to try. Just be careful to not break the needle. I think some people use a fork to take it off but i use force because i have spare needles.

 

My tach is stuck at the high end, when you start the car it goes to zero for a second then goes back to being off the scale at the high end where it sits stuck . Anyone experienced this kind of problem ? Any ideas on repair ? I am starting to restore my 91 1LE and this is one of the repairs on the list

 

all the third gen camaros tachs go bad.there are people on here who have posted how to fix it.use the search.

 

Thanks for your help
