STOCK TACH - Doesnt Work...? Cluster works, has Voltage - Help *NEED TO GET TUNED!*
In my 88 Crx si, my tachometer no longer works, I had it out last summer and it worked fine, car was stored for a year and now its out, the rest of the cluster works just **** but the tach goes knowwhere
I spliced into it for my shift light before I got the car running, realized the tach wasnt working, so I unconnected the shiftlight and it still doesnt work
The tach wire was never cut, just stripped away the plastic and connected the shiftlight, what would cause this?
When I put the voltmeter on dc I think, im pulling 15.1 volts on the tach blu wire when the car is on, normal?

Just so you know you dont need a tach to tune. The dyno would have a much better tach then yours they read off of.
If you want to make sure its right, find out your tach pin and run a wire straight to the dist.

the datalogging will show your RPM a lot more accurately than the tach will.
An EF use a cable driven pulser unit in the cluster that some times the contacts can get dirty in.
Not my nature to bust *****, but why is this in the 92-00 civic/delsol forum?

you can try cleaning the plugs, you can also try pulling apart the contacts in the pulser unit in the cluster and cleaning them up too.
I am asuming you have not converted to an electrical VSS and you're still running the 88's setup.

crap I'm getting the funky speedo setup on the EF mixed up wit hthe tach setup.
nevermind me, nothing to see here, move along.
I'll bet if you post this in the EF forum you'll get an answer quicker.
