    Autometer Tach Issues

    in Electronics

    Posted

    My 5" tachometer has been frustrating me. At times, when idling it shows 7000rpm, but when I accelerate it gives a correct reading. It seems to be an issue that comes and goes. Sometimes, I get a true reading when idling other times, it only reads right when accelerating.

    Anyone else had to deal with this?

    Heavy Jerking at Low Acceleration

    I still have not got around to changing my O2 sensor. I am however getting normal readings on the air/fuel gauge. What i find strange is that my battery voltage reading fluctuates by 1 volt less when it jerks/idles erratic. It idles almost as if there is a misfire.

    Hi Guys,



    I have recently changed my HG. Since then though, I have been having a problem everytime I am coming to a stop. Let's say if I am approaching a red light and leave the car in whatever gear be it a very low or high gear, the car begins to jerk really heavily/violently. At full revs it works fine, the problem is only when slowing down. If I go into neutral while coming to a stop, there is absolutely no jerking. I think my O2 sensor is on its way out as well so....don't know if that is contributing too.


    Smoking issue

    in Engines

    Interesting...mine seems to be a bit of the reverse. When idling, it smokes too much...not visible as if a turbo seal is gone but still too much smoke. Smoke isnt blue but isnt really white either....i know it is not the best description but i will try to get a vid of it. The strange part is the smell of the smoke, smells like something is burning. And it does not smoke all the time, seems to be on and off occurence...i know it tends to come after some hard runs tho..but other times it can simply be after switching on the car.


    74.5/75mm headgasket to 74mm pistons

    So my old gasket went MIA on me. I am seeing a small water leak at the back of the engine right at the head gasket. I have been hunting a replacement 1.6mm headgasket but to no avail. I have sourced a 1.5mm Cometic. However, my Wiseco pistons are 74mm and the Cometic gasket says: 'for up to 74.5mm'...will this work together?...i know it's a pretty newb question.



    Have not started stripping down yet so I am not sure what was the bore size on the old gasket but contacted the seller and concluded it was a 75mm.

    Autometer Tach problem

    This just randomly started...when idling the tach shows 7000rpm, it does not actually idle at that obviously tho. When I rev, it works properly...once pedal is released it goes back up to 7000rpm...Any suggestions????
