master garion 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 Coming to a stop today in my E36 and as the speedometer needle dropped to idle speed, all of a sudden it jumps to 60 and then back down real quick. Hasn't happened again (that I noticed). Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

antil33t 90 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 My tach needle use to jump to about 1000rpm then drop back down every time I shut the car off. my Motometer did it every single time. My new VDO doesn't seem to do it. Though my Motometer cluster has quite a bit of corosion on the solders, where the VDO one doesn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
master garion 1 Report post Posted September 14, 2010 It has never gone dead on me (yet). Wondering if it could be speed sensor related? Quite common in Hondas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
