Tach Gone Crazy!!

Well driving alone the interstate I am distracted by my tach fluttering around from 3000 to 7000 and everywhere in between. The guy at Auto Zone said I needed to replace the entire distributor because you can't replace the pick-ups in Hondas. Is this true? Am I going to have to go junkyard happy on this one?

Re: Tach Gone Crazy!!

Are you sure its the distributor?
Are you getting any dashboard lights?
Is the tach the only thing screwed up?

Re: Tach Gone Crazy!!

Also, if you do need a distributor, I got a 90 Accord EX I'm in the process of parting out as well. So if craig's 86 distributor wont work on your 91 (I'm not sure), I know my 90 will. So if you are stuck in a bind, just shoot me a PM, and I can send it out anytime after Thursday.

I had this exact same problem on my Accord and I'm sure it is the distributor.

Re: Tach Gone Crazy!!

I dont know if it's the distributor, I haven't got a Check Engine light yet. That's just what the guy at Auto Zone said it most likely was. I wish there were a way to test it first.
