Default Tach cuts in and out..? wtf

Ok this is getting kinda annoying.. and i dont know if its a wireing problem.. or a ECU problem.. or what it is.. maybe a bad sensor..? what is happening is my tach will be working perfectly fine.. and when i slam on the gas and make it move faster it seems to get held up, i can hear the engine to continue revving up but my tac doesnt move then it will jump real real fast to the current RPM...? it only seems to happen when im trying to "race" so i dont know what it is..? anyone else have a similar problem..? any help/sugestions would be helpfull!! thanks!

I had a similar problem, but it also included random power loss.....the problem was the four-wire ground connector (im pretty sure its the wiring harness grounds) that is on the thermostat, mine was loose, tightened the bolt down problem gone, try that

I had the same problem too. mine just turned out to be a loose connection on the back of the gauge cluster

Biggest thing to remember when you have electrical problems is:

1. Check all connections
2. Check grounds

Most common problems with me lol, guess i mess around with the electrical too much
