Re: 96 tach reading wrong

Are all of the other gauges reading correctly and indicator lights in the dash working? The signal for the tach comes from the PCM so see if any codes are stored that might give you a clue. Go to my post in the second page of the Tech help thread to see how to get the schematic and other info on-line.
