Guest traillooker Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 (edited) My RPMs meter has gone bad. Some times it works and some times it will peg out. Has anyone had a problem like that. I'm thinking it could be a diode are transister on the board or bad conection to board. Thought anyone.

Smithk Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hello, I've got a '93 and my techometer acts up on ocassion to, I've discussed it many times with my buddy who works for Nissan and he's checked all the cables and says nothing seems to be the problem but his solution was to order a new techometer for $500 and that might solve the problem.

bear claw Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Join the club. I also have the same going on with my 95. It starts ok than it goes up and sticks till the next motor rev and goes up again and sticks again, until the thing is all the way to the max red line and remain until I park it. I thought I was killing it the first time I looked at it but I now got us to it and I'm much more relax about it lol My cure: dont look at it sorry this is all I got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weight weenie Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Hi all! I'm not sure if a '97 could have the same problem with the tach, but all you '95 & older owners may experience something like I have. My '90 Terrano ( it's an rhd pathy with a 2.7 turbo-diesel, as Canada allows 15-yr olds from overseas to be imported ) has the same sticking needle thing described by Bear claw. I took my cluster lens off to discover that years of sun & heat had warped the needle so that the tip was dragging on the guage face, leaving a light rub mark on the outer perimeter of the tach face. A temporary solution was to simply bend it back with my fingers, which worked for a short while but didn't last. I then overzealously snapped it off on the 2nd attempt, forcing me to the wreckers yard for a suitable replacement. Anyway, that's my windy story for today.

QuismO Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 according to the factory service manual, the tach is controlled by a signal from the ECM, which is located behind the dash right above the gas pedal...check that there is continuity between terminal 3 and the wire going into your tach. then check that the signal varies when you turn on your car and rev. if the signal's good, your tach may be bad. try a local junkyard for pathies before going to the dealer.

Um, $94 USD from summit racing. thats considerably less than the price of the OE tach. I hope that was not directed at me. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.a...15&autoview=sku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doin my best to keep the peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
