hey guys, my tach doesn't work. it quit when we brought it back from florida. but yesterday it worked just a little bit, when i got on the gas, it moved up. i'm in auto tech at school so i can get it fixed. but i need to know if it's a sensor or a computer problem. my speedometer don't work either. email me if you've had yours do that to you. my email is jcbdvd6@yahoo.com

Sounds like a connector could be loose. Check on the front differential or in the transmission wiring looms under the intake snorkel.

+1 with that thought. Good luck.

Is there anyway to calibrate the speedometer? I'm assuming the SVX uses a speed sensor as opposed to a speedo cable, and I don't have the first clue about any type of calibration methods. My car reads about 5-7 mph over at 30 mph as evidenced by several of those "your speed" signs that I pass during my weekly commuting.
