- I don't care who makes it as long as it's fast!
ok, I've been driving my truck for a year or so.(1991, 2.3, 5-speed) Runs good, but suddenly the tach starts showing about 1/2 of the correct value. So 2000 rpm shows 1000rpm on the tach. During idle, tach shows 400rpm.
The truck also started missing when I turn right. only right. I checked the wiring to make sure it's no where near the steering. I've let the truck idle and moved wires around to see if there was any open connections. Nothing.
This all started when I swapped out the negative battery cable.
Since then, I've run a negative cable/wire, from the connection at the motor to the frame, the inner fenderwell and any other negative connection I could find which were connected to the old negative cable.
Nothing.
I swapped out the fuel filter. It needed it and it was a long shot.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
