Re: I need help with my tachometer
I had the same problem. My solution was to get another tach from another cluster. You can unscrew it, and replace yours easily. It does come off separately from the speedometer and odometer, so you don't have to worry about those.
Use a kitchen fork to lift the needle off. Then, when you are at idle, slip the needle back on the shaft. Your idle speed should be about 750-800 rpm, so that's how I aligned it.
There is a how to link somewhere on how to get the cluster out and swap the speedometer, so that has useful information for you.
My replacement came from an explorer cluster, and had not been in use for a while, so it worked a bit "jumpy" at first, but now it operates smooth like new.
