i am very upset right now. i just recieved and installed this 95 z28 cluster into my 93 camaro. everything appears to be working properly except for the rpm guage. it goes the wrong direction. it appears to be working fine at idel but when you give the car a little gas the needle starts to move up but then goes striaght down. i am clueless about what to do. i paid $100 for this thing and it doesnt even work properly. it has the white faces and stainless back.

any help is welcomed.

 

rpm gauge = "tachometer"

The 93 tach wiring is different than all the other years, and has a "filter" in it. Possibly the 93 wiring is not compatible with the 94 and newer tach? Possible you need to remove the filter?????

 

step by step instructions on how to fix this will help...the thing was i asked the guy specifically if it would work in my 93 or not since it was a speed denisty.

 

needle will go up until it reaches 1500 rpm then falls striaght down until i let up on the gas then returns

 

okay. i've been reading some posts and apparently there is some kind of tach filter????that blocks my signal to the tach. how do i bypass or remove this? fyi i have a 93 with a 95 cluster.

pictures with arrows will help....search did not bring any photos up for my viewing pleasure.

 

Imagine that! Fred stated that in his post right after your first post. Always rember Fred will not point you in the wrong direction. Hes a living breathing factory service manual.

Next time dude read your replys and dont bash senior members.

for future reference When swapping a 94+ cluster in your 93 the tach filter is located on the wiring harness close to the icm and coil. cut the wires running into it and solder them together deleting the filter.

thank you oneslowz28....one more quick question though....where is the filter box generaly located on these 4th gens? i need to get this car finished before monday....i have to go to work

 

I do not know where it is located but if you trace the wire from the instrument cluster connector im sure you will find it. I have a 94 so i dont have the filter.

 

i was afraid you was going to say that.....there isnt much room to work on these darn things.

 

its easer if you take out the seats. only 4 nuts holding them in.

 

seats arnt the problem....i'm talking about the dash in general.

 

oh. well its not that hard. ive ben under my dash hundreds of times. youll get used to it

 

bad news....that didnt work. still does the same thing.... someone help me

 

its freakin cold outside today.....40 something. anyways i started looking under my hood to try and find a anwser to why my tach is all funky. what is this little box?

where is the main wire located for the tach under the hood? can i just run my own wire from the main source into the dash to the tach and have it work that way?

 

AFAIK, that is the tach filter, are the wires going to it white?
