Why don't you just buy an autometer tach and delete the factory one. If this is not an option then I do not know how to fix the problem. It might be a sending unit? I don't know.
Sorry

get a hold of a scan tool and read the rpm's off the computer. if the computer reads normal, then there is a wireing problem or the gauge itself is bad.

thats what i would start with.

thanks
