Howdy folks,

Tach just quit this morning.  Didn't even leave the driveway.  Turn the ignition on (engine not yet running) it jumps to about 700rpm, don't remember if it did this before or not.  Then once engine cranks to start it jumps to around 1700rpm and stays there, no movement at all reguardless of engine revs until you turn it off, then back to zero once ignition is off.  Checked fuses...all OK, looked under hood for anything disconnected around distributor and everything appears in order, no indicator lights on.  Car works great otherwise, never a problem since I bought it last fall.

'92 Prelude S 5spd, bone stock, with AC (this morning I turned on AC for the first time since last fall, doubt if it's related but I figured I'd mention it) 158,000 miles.

Thanks for any help....God bless,

-BunnMan

PS:  please tell me it's something simple???  :)

I have a 96 prelude si and my tacomitor just quit on me recently. Out of nowhere the whole dash dosnt light up not even the rpm gauge or speedomitor, nothing. im wondering wut that could be, Ive had the car for 2 years now and have done alot work and now it seems the electrical system is starting to go on me. My radio sounds very distorted all of a sudden and now the dash dont light up or just come on period. All the power inside the car is out I cant even lower my window. Can somebody help me out and tell me what it could be? Ive already checked all the fuses and relays and they all check out. Also now i cant even get the shifter out of park when i depress the brake pedal, I now have to stick the key in the shift lock release put it in neutral and than start the car. What is that????
