my tachometer is off... its above by 200 when its idle.. it idles at 1k, and it normally idles at 700-800, but i know its idling around 700-800 because it doesnt sound like 1k, and on the highway, my 5th gear usually 83-85 mph is 4k rpm for me, but now its 3.7k rpm

i still hit vtec at the right times, but when i look at the tach, it hits at 4.8 instead of 5.2, but the engine sounds like its at 5.2

and as i increase how fast im going... the worse it becomes, like.. im going 100 but my tach shoes 4.5k rpms

does anyone know how to fix this problem? it just startedn happening tonight..

 

How do you know this (i.e VAFC? REV/speed/ aftermarket Tach?)

How old is the car?


Its been proven that some older cars the tachometers are off alittle bit... If u have a vafc orrev speed you can get the EXACT number nad its MUCH more accurate because its through the ECU

 

All honda tachs are off. Yours is just bein a little more wierd than normal. Nothing to be alarmed about. Also if you watched your tach before it started messin up you would see that vtec seems to kick in at a different rpm in each gear. Its just the tach, if you want the real numbers you would need a rev/speed meter or vafc. NO WORRIES, ITS ALL GOOD

 

sickkk.. heheh.. just making sure

another to H-T

yeah.. i just got a job.. so that vafc is coming one step closer.. probably this weekend infact.. i cant wait
