Tach Problem...

Sometimes my tach reads 0 at idle, but works like normal while driving? Any ideas as to that this could be? Thanks

Are you the only owner of the car? Has this always been going on, or just started recently? If so it sounds like someone has had the needles off and put one back on wrong.

I bought the car used, but it didnt do it when i got it. Im sure something happened when i pulled the cluster to put the CF on, but i was very careful, and it only does it sometimes.

My fuel needle did that after I replaced a bulb. All I did was move the needle up with my finger and it started working again. Hope this helps.
