ok about 2 months ago my speedo started to stay on 40km/h when just before i turn the car on (red computer loading) and it would stay there till i hit over 40km and it would jump around a bit then from then on it would be fine and would show up a couple of times.
so i ignored that and was fine with it but last night was cruzing with my mates and was gona race my mates 02 rex when after red lining first my rev needle was playing up it jstarted umping from 6 to 3000 then up and down so i didnt know when to change lol and it did it through third and 4th... so now my rev and my speedio is doing it
and since then has't happened again after racing 3 other cars but can anyone here tell me what it would be its getting under my skin.. is there somthing i can check/ change
Btw cars bone stock

THanks

 

no one comon tech's
need help in this

 

so are you saying the tach is jumping around a bit? if so replace your igniter.

 

where would the ignitor be.
its not jumping around it just dies out and goes up and down sometimes when it should be about 4-5000kor how ever i was driving.
but more info about the ignitor would be helpfull.

 

ignitor is inside your distributor

 

can you get me a diagram or somthing to know how it looks like.
today it finally just went out . i think it died. only did one or 2 jumps and that it

 

same thing happend to me, open up the dist. and there should be a spring in there that sends spark to the cap. sometimes the spring get stucck open it up and clean it, thats what i did and its fine now. this was on my CIA d16y7 tho

 

so i have to open up the distributor cap and clean the spring in the cap right.
well how sure are you cuz i'd rather change my distributor cap as its kinda loking old and got a little gap on it.

 

i have a similar problem. My mph needle justs sometimes, then it dies, and then it goes back to normal. I dont really mind that much. It doesnt really affect my performance. its prolly some electrical problem in the cluster.

 

ok well this morning i opened up my distrbutor cap and my distributor is internal and i found a little spring about 5 cm so i pullled it out and spreyed the whole dis with wd40( didnt take anything beside the cap ). and then lost that fucken spring so i had to go to work so i put the cap back on and car turned on fine but rev's still fucked and not working somtimes it twitches and goes a bit up then falls.
now my first question is would that spring missing do any damamge? (car drove fine to work this morning) second how do i fix my rev gauge?

 

wont do any damage . if you want to replace your cap then go for it pm me with any questions. solved prob for me... goodluck

 

well i took the day off just for me honda lol and well i replaced the spring and found coroded wire there but couldnt replace it as the tech told me its a rough job so he kinda patched it up a little made more contact (still has corrosion on it ) and replaced the spring i lost. but it was still abit faulty and then all of a sudden its working and i think because he replaced the spring.. and now looking for rewiring my distributor...
thanks for the help
