Needle goes crazy after 5k rpms

So im accelerating, this happens in all gears by the way, and around 4-5k rpms the needle goes crazy and jumps all the way to the end of the tach and back to the middle until i shift. This must be a sensor or something. Let me know whats the verdict, thanks

Re: Needle goes crazy after 5k rpms

Sounds like a bad dizzy to me. My crx did this multible times on me after I replaced a ton of things in the dizzy. I'd fix one thing, it'd be ok for a month or so and then start doing it again. But seriously though, I know your not a noob or anything Lisa, but there are a ton of threads about this same subject.

Well jeez Lisa, I typed in "jumping tach" in the search function and I found atleast 5 posts on this subject. So maybe you need to zip it.

Re: Needle goes crazy after 5k rpms

Yes, I also had the same problem, when the tach jumps does it seems to hesitate even the slightest bit? If so, buy a new dizzy. I went through replacing a bunch of shit before I replaced the dizzy, and that is what worked.
