Just a swag here, but my mechanic says my tach is running high because the
wire the tach reads is old and therefore has higher resistance (?EE's?) He
says he typically runs a new wire, therefore with lower resistance, o fix the
problem, barring a complete harness replacement.
That being said, and the
fact a warmer wire has higher resistance, sounds like it should run higher at
warmer temps.
Sound Right?
