Where's the tach meter needle supposed to point at when engine is off?
Mine points above the 0 mark (the 0 has 2 big marking), I guess it points at 200 rpm mark.


2nd thing is after driving on freeway (80mph) and then comes to stop, the idle stays at 9-950 and wont go any lower. (This only happens after engine shuts down, then start again and drive, like after getting gas at gas station)

any idea??

Thanks in advance

car is a 88 turbo all stock.

 

sounds like your needle is off by 200 rpm

 

let the picture speaks. as you can see my needle points above the "0" markings

sorry

 

yeah your needle is off. Fix it

 

it's gonna be painful to pull the cluster out....

 

How do you figure???

Pull the steering column surround off (4 screws), then the gauge surround (5 screws) then the cluster (4 screws). reach around the back, unplug the speedo cable, and two (three if it is a S5 automatic) plugs, and pull the cluster out.

Pretty simple.

Then either unclip, the plastic panel or unscrew (depending on series) the plastic panel. Now you have access to the tach needle. Push the needle down to the position in needs to be in when off and then re-assemble.

steering wheel needs to be off too??
