Re: Sluggish Tach (score: 1): Author: "Phil Johnson" <spitfire.man@virgin.net>; Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 23:29:09 +0100; I think that you will find that the reason the tacho is 'sluggish' on start up has something to do with the fact that your ignition coil has a ballast resistor and your tachos are electronic.

This sounds plausible, however when the car was new the tach wasn't this sluggish (2-4 second delay). It seems to have gotten this way over the last few years.

I figure it's either a continuity problem due to corrosion, or old dried out lubrication holding the needle momentarily. I'm inclined to su; /html/spitfires/2000-07/msg00735.html (7,035 bytes)

It also waves back and forth sometimes, especially between 3500-4500 rpm. The amount of movement can be a few hundred rpm up to the full range of t; /html/spitfires/2000-07/msg00740.html (8,050 bytes)
