Default Grounding Problem (wacky gauges and no batt charge)

The gauges on my 93 civic are acting up. When accelerating the tach jumps yet the engine doesnt and the temp gauge jumps all the way up to the red while it isnt overheating. The battery also doesnt hold a charge.

Could this be a ground problem?

Thanks...

Check you dizzy for a loose connection or bare wires for the tach jumping around...As for the battery not holding a charge, Could be a bad cell in the battery or your alternator is ****.

i agree check your dizzy... open that up and tighten up all screws that you see. mine did that and it was a screw that had completely come of the coil. don't even know how i was able to drive the car even started bogging bad.
