The speedometer gauge on my 1995 Honda Accord quit working so I bought a used gauge cluster and had it installed. Now the rpm is to high for example at 50 mph it indicated 3500 rpm. I believe the tach is showing the accurate rpm.

I did notice after installing the gauge cluster that it was missing the abs indicator. The check engine light is off and all indicators and gauges seem to be working.

Could anyone help on why the engine is running at a high rpm?

Thanks

 

Does the engine sound like it's running at 3.5k? Or are you just guessing that the tach is accurate?

 

Yes, it does sound like it's running at 3.5k.

 

You're not running it in D3 are you?

 

No, I know it sounds like it but I'm not.

 

Put the original cluster back in and see what happens.

 

I'll give that a try but it will be a few days before I will be able to.

Thanks

 

did the cluster come out of an accord with the SAME type of engine as your car? IF you have a I4 then you need a cluster calibrated for an I4. Same for a V6.......if you install one into the other, your tach will be fudged up.......
