Sweet82 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I went to visit Mad Max this weekend. He's pinned in 3 feet of snow and can't move too far. I fired him up this weekend and noticed there was no Tack? No matter what I did, I had no RPM's? Is this a distributor going away or maybe a wire eaten by some rodent? Suggestions on where to look when I go back to dig him out? Thanks, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My '84 GL used to not have a tach till it warmed up for a few minutes, then the tach would start working. But it never had trouble starting or running, so I figured it wasn't the distributor or coil.

GeneralDisorder Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah - tach signal comes from the coil, so if it runs, then either the signal isn't there (wire) or the guage is frozen up. Usually a bad disty will jump around a lot, and give very high readings - mine was reading 7,000 RPM at idle when it needed bushings GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
