Evo 8 Speedo Needle Sticking/lazy????
My Evo 8s speedo needle is sticking/being lazy, I have to keep tapping the clocks for the needle to jump to the correct speed.
For example I will be slowly accelrating from 30mph up to 40mph and the needle doesn't move off 30mph unless I tap the clocks. Same happens at any slow acceleating speed. And also happens when decelerating. I will decelarate to 0mph and the needle will stop at 20mph then 2 seconds later just fall to 0mph. Works fine accelerating fast when i plant it. But normal driving it just acts up. Has anyone any idea of what could be causing this problem? Evo 8 FQ330 Ralliart Cheers |
Might be a South Wales weather issue. After this many years, maybe the humidity has damaged the gauge
I just recently replaced the OEM oil temp gauge that was jamming up & i live in Los Angeles LOL Welcome aboard, by the way Cheers :beer: |
Cheers mate!
So if my speedo needs replacing would the best way be to change the whole clocks or is there a way of just changing the speedo? |

Search the forum for similar threads. Im sure this is not the first case of this issue On my Mitsu oil temp issue, there were a few threads confirming this issue Edit: Heres a post that no one answered noted the same issue (its an FQ as well but doubt that makes a diff) https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...-sticking.html |
I also have UK EVO 8 FQ-330 and my speedometer needle will just drop from 20 mph straight to 0 mph. Did you manage to get anywhere with yours.
I don't ever remember it being this way the past 5 years but I took it out of storage this weekend and now notice it. |
You may have an intermittent short or open in the cluster circuit. I have a Evo9 cluster with 25K miles that I am looking to sell if you need parts.
