NamorNhoj Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Sooo, I was driving down the expressway today and hit an unavoidable pothole in the right lane (couldn't cut over in time, given the semi to my left!) and upon smashing into this pothole, my tachometer needle dropped below zero, and when I next came to a full stop, it would rest at idle backwards up towards eight again. So basically, the entire range of my needle climb as been twisted counter-clockwise on the face of the tachometer!! What could have made this happened, and where should I look to remedy the issue? Is the tachometer that prone to failure, or did I simply shake something loose somewhere under the hood? THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermanpete Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 It sounds like a mechancal problem in the tach. The movement in the early Z has two counter-acting springs. Perhaps one broke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NamorNhoj Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Ok - well, while driving down the highway today, the needle literally fell off within the gauge, so I guess it's time to replace / upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
