My tach has been intermittent lately. The wires at that location are bare for an inch or two, maybe they are touching? Thanks. __________________ 94 IDI Turbo 5 SPD Crew Cab, 263K, new paint, 35 12.50 BFG, Big ARSS Stereo 2003 Excursion E.B. V-10, 2001 ZX3 (http://www.alaskancamper.com/)

I replaced it thinking it was to blame for RPM issues. You can have it for postage......
