I just changed my JDM speedo cluster to another one and everything seems fine but my rev counter is idle at 2000 rpm rather than 1000 rpm.

 

I went for a drive and still doesn't sit around 1000 rpm

 

The new cluster has white dials in mph and think its a UK spec (could be wrong) but the speedo does match the speed in mph

 

Can anyone help me as i have everything off and want to resolve this problem before putting it back together

issue could be a series one for a series two..

 

the connecters are not only sideways instead of upright but the wiring is different..

 

or it could just be bad connections..

 

they are best case scenarios :)..

just tied it again, took the connections off then put it back on and when the key it turned the lights come on and rev goes to 1000

but when i start it up it goes to 2000...

 

its a series 1 clock

so assuming the car is also a 1 there is either a connection issue or the clocks are broken.

 

where did you get them?

yeh the car is series 1 aswell

 

clocks...think i got them on ebay...was some time ago like couple of years.

 

guess ill have to open it up and have a look

 

do you think it might effect the gear changes?

the simple answer to that is I don't know...

 

I assume you are asking because your car is an auto... and I also assume when the idle says 2000 the car is still idling normally (i.e under 1000).

 

I don't think the car behaves in relation to what the clocks say, rather on the signals sent to them.. but liker I said, I don't actually know.

 

Hope full someone with that information will come forward.. :)

Yeh the car is auto

 

Checked the soldering on the rev counter and seemed fine

Must be faulty as you said previously.

 

I'll change over the rev counter with my older one and hopefully will resolve the problem

 

Thanks very much for your help
