1995 civic ex
Motor 00 lsv --- never had an issue with the rpm gauge before now.
The car wasn't started up all winter. Had it jumped now the rpm gauge is going crazy. Going pass the 9,000 mark an not comming back.
Checked my distributor an my ground wires , they all look good
Any suggestion. Please see video for more details

 

Check Dizzy, Blue wire on the plug is for RPM input, if no issues there might need to pull cluster out and check wiring in the back of cluster

 

Did all that same thing

 

Might also be a bad igniter unit.

 

so ur saying my distributor is on its way out?

 

Does it read zero with the key off? If not, the gauge pointer is probably mechanically stuck.

 

Does this help? https://honda-tech.com/honda-civic-d...issue-3212540/

 

no it does not read zero when the key is off.

this looks like the same issue i'm having. I have a video of it but i can;t upload it.

please see attached video

 

The video should have been included in your first post. It points to a bad tach. Replace the tach.

 

Couldn't get the video to upload on here, so i decided to post it to youtube then post it here. Thanks for the advise.

 

Do the EJ6's have CFK's? I don't recall but check to be sure all wire harnesses near any belts aren't chewed up and placed correctly. Bad tach is most likely the issue here.

Finally, one of my threads did some good to someone else =]
