Tachometer Error?

by **BradOwens** » Tue Jan 31, 2006 8:06 am

holy crap 9K rpms? no way dude my tach dosent even read up to 9. unless ur tach is pinning at 8K and going up thts the only way possible. and even then redline is 6200 and fuel cut is around 6250 i think. u either have something very wrong with ur tach or some1s lying lol

hes telling the truth.. watch the video... its an electrical error.. which would be the sensor.. the tach just converts the voltage to a gauge so you can read it...

Yeah 9k RPM sounds wrong.
Car shifts at 65k RPM if you V6.
The RPM gauge stops at 8k redline at 7k RPM's.
That weird.
Could be the camshaft sensor, like "SC V6" said.

"IPg35coupe", "x61485x", "orangebook" your AVATARS are TOO big please resize guys.

"orangebook" we are just tellin' people what we know from experience.
WTF wit the shite.......
We know that the Solara isn'ta race car, duh. :roll:

Goin' up to 6k on the tach is fun.

After watching the video, I apoligize for sounding the troll alarm.

Id take it into the dealership and have them look at it. Lol you should send that video to toyota and see what they say.

i'll try to bring it into a dealership this week...

I tried flipping through my Chilton's Manual but ended up even more confused.

if it doesn't affect performance, maybe i'll just leave it like that...
SUPERPOWERED SOLARA REVVING TO 9K lol :evilbat:

hahah just kidding.

doesn't hurt anything, just an inaccurate gauge reading... which sucks

by **adam2562** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 3:57 pm

if u take out urgauge assembly.. pull of the clear plastic cover.. the needle is spring loaded... i dotn remember which way it is but twist it clockwise over the needle stop hing and let it set and seewher eit is.. if not.. then do it counter clockwise 2 times to go back one turn from wher eit was at b4 u started one of those directions will fix it.. i used to screw with ppl and tell them i raised my rev limiter haha.. then showed them how i did it lol

Yeah you can have it looked at to see what wrong, or you can leave it.

second.
"Shifting at 6K isn't abusing your tranny?"
so u never been up to 6k rpm...

this forum is a joke. tryn to be all smart? stfu.
my friend had a same problem with his old donkey CRX.
he blew his engine after reving too high.
the needle actually passes the max level. actually my
other friends Jeep does that too.
u guys aint mechanics, dunn bust out your
"oh i kno everything bout this car" thing.

I dunno whats wrong, but im sure its not his fault, and
im sure u guys would understand that.

Frickin newbie, whats your deal? Why don't you and your world beater crx buddies go to a different forum, and shut your little yapper. We're going to help the guy so back the f up.
