went to do some street tuning for more boost and, when i would do some pulls the tach would only go to 7k but the engine would keep reving all the way to 8800? why would this cause this? thanks guys.

 

I had a similar issue that turned out to be my distributor. Try a different one if yoiu have a spare

 

There's no reason to chuck a perfectly good distributor....

If I remember right, the output comes off the ignitor. Grab a manual and look up the trouble shooting for a malfunctioning tach and it should tell you where the output comes from. Replace a part, not the whole thing.

 

im with bakeoff

 

if your on crome it does that i have a b16 and i have to run the map on a gsr to make the rpm turn right

 

thanks for your replys guys. ill look into all f the suggestions tonight. and yes it was tuned on crome gold.

 

will it only do it when i am tunning it? i havent gotten on it with out the laptop hooked up yet.

who said anything about chucking his distributor? If you actually read my post you would see I said "try a different one if you have a spare", not "go chuck your distributor and buy a new one"

I was merely pointing him in a direction that he could look to do some troubleshooting...and besides, the ignitor itself from Honda cost almost as much an entire distributor. I got a brand new distributor with a lifetime warranty for 175 shipped. Either way, good luck to the OP, I hope you get yor issue corrected
