Tach don't work when cold
My tachometer doesn't work when the outside temp is below about 60° F. When the car warms up it eventually kicks in, but when it's cold outside it doesn't budge at all.
Any ideas?

Gee, I had forgotten that issue with mine since it has not gotten that cold in the south so far this year. It usually starts sticken when the outside temp. gets down in the forties. But thanks for the reminder.

well since no one is answering, and we are all sharing our woes, then mine does the same, but didnt used to do it until i swapped the cluster for an 83 so it goes to 130mph now (it hasnt gone to 130mph yet)... havent tried to max it out

same here. Did it back in the summer here in TN so I know cold weather is not a factor for me. It seems to only not work when it is raining outside or just alot of moisture around. It kicks in by the time the engine hit normal operating temp.

Very common complaint looking at this thread - was reminded of this just the other day. Tach sticks until about 15 min into the drive. It's amazing what you forget about 'cold' weather driving over a long summer!
