Hello!


My name is Per, I live in Sweden and am quite new on the forum and as a Camaro owner. I bought a Camaro Iroc 350 TPI -89 a couple of months ago and unfortunatly there's been nothing but trouble. The car is now in the workshop (as it more or less has been since I bought it). Still, shame on the quitter! Do need some help though.


When I shut the car off, the tachometer needle sticks at present rpm (idle). When I turn the ignintion on (without starting), it jumps down to zero and then when I start the engine it works fine. When I think about it, it might apply to other gauges like temp and fuel as well. Is this normal behavior?


Thanks for your help!


Regards,
Per

 

that is normal for the tach and gauges-the needles are driven by magnetic coils and there is no "clockspring" to return to minimum position when turned off.Hope you get the other problems sorted soon

 

Thanks 8t2 z-chev! That's good to hear, at least one less thing to worry about
