    My tachometer stopped working today.. Very strange as it seems all fuses are good and everything else seems to be working as normal... fuel and temp gauge seem to be ok too..... I have searched but this does not seem that common... any thoughts outside of a bad connection before i gotta get a cashectomie to diagnose?
    Thanks...
    Cheers,
    Mark:confused:

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    There is a black and white wire that runs from the ECU ->connector-> combination meter. It may be possible that you have a loose connection at one of these points.
