cause the stock one is inaccurate. if your off by 100-300rpm that's normal.

doubtful... maybe you got a bogus tach. who did the wiring for you? try uninstalling it and reinstalling it with an EXPERT to help, or hell just let the expert do it. and if an expert already did it for you, make his *** do it again, right!

what kind of tach is it, almost every autometer tach has three wires in the back that you may need to cut. They are little loops, brown, green and white i think.
read the manual

More info please? What exactly is the stock tach doing and what exactly is the aftermarket tach doing? How much of a difference. Is it doing this while driving or is it just doing this while idling? Is the stock tach slower than the aftermarket tach, or is it faster???
