thats right...after car warms up, needle drops all the way down like the car is off. why will it be at 0..car idles fine i guess, just no rpm showing, needle works though.

 

anyone?

 

A) your question is disjointed, and hard to understand.
B) Karma...

Does it move for cold idle, then just fall to the bottom? when you give it gas, is it jumping from 0 to whever it should be, or does it still move gradually? Have you checked to make sure your plug on the tranny is hooked up properly? The plug on the back of the cluster? You gotta help us help you!!!

I'd think you were a newbie...

 

after car drops from high idle(warming up) it drops to 0 rpm when warmed up. if i give it gas, it moves up,not normal, at a lower rpm from what it should be. i dont feel anything different, just not having the right rpm at idle. i moved that screw on the IM thinking it might be that, it didnt do anything.

 

I have the same problem when the car is cold it does it normal idle, but hen when i start driving and then stop it goes to 0 and all my lights go dim but a little bit liek the alternator is not putting enought power to run all the electical. Any help woudl be nice. Like Mike said i tried to trun the idle screw on the IM and i have tried to adjust the throtle cable and it still didn't help.

HatchCX

 

HATCHCX sounds like you need to raise your idle higher.


if your problem is like HatchCX's then your idle is set too low and needs to be adjusted. If everything else is fine though and it seems to be idling strong, your gauge may be off, stock gauges aren't very accurate.

 

Borrow somebody's tach and wire it up to see if the stock tach is screwy. I guess :dunno:

 

its not the tach, i dont think. i highly doubt it actually. would this be happenning if my timing was off?

 

That the thing every time i raise it up to the idle point it stays for about a day then goes back down to zero.

 

Did you install different gauges, or indiglo? might have moved the needle a little too much and now it falls to zero. Not sure though
