Ok, I had indiglo gauges installed, everything was workin' fine.

Got my new reverse indiglo gauges last night, installed them, put it back together.. test drive yields the following results:

Fuel: FineSpeedo: Showing 10MPH when the car is at a stopTach: Showing 0 rpm when the car is at a stopTemp: Rises above the normal mark.. almost to the top

So this morning I took it back apart, checked everything, and now ive got the following

Fuel: FineSpeedo: Seems to be ok, haven't driven it yet but its staying @ 0 when the car is parkedTach: Still show it idling at about 200rpm.. Temp: Looks to be normal again

So my question is about the tach.. how do I reset it? Normally the car idles about 900 rpm.. I don't know what to do.. any ideas??

Thanks! :)

Yeah im pretty sure I did.. I mean I dont think I punched it or anything but I definitely was moving it around in order to get the gauge over the 200 foot long device for changing the time.. ;)

well thats the problem then, see if you can move it back to where it should be, or buy a new cluster
