So my tachometer since i bought my car hasnt worked - any tips or suggestions on what i should do to attempt to fix it?

Im willing to try anything at this point - it bugs the crapola out of me....

 

Is the tach totally dead (on 0 all the time)? Or does it wildly jump around? Does the engine seem to shudder or anything?

 

stuck on 0 always, everything runs flawlessly.

 

check engine light on? any stored trouble codes?

 

check engine light comes on and off - i reset it, couple trips in it, and it comes back on.
I dont know what to do anymore [:@]

 

What trouble code does it have stored?

 

Im not too good with understanding what your talking about haha

Explain this to me as if i know nothing about cars.....I dont even know what trouble codes are []

 

If thecheck-engine lamp is on, the ECU stores an error-code to help you narrow down the search for the problem.

 

pull the ashtray straight out. There is a service connector there. Take the car to AutoZone and have them hook an OBDII code reader to the port you uncovered by removing the ashtray. Have them print out the code number or write down the code number and post it here. They will try to tell you what the problem is, but their computer's explanations are often inaccurate for Hondas. Post the exact code # here. It should look like P####.
I would be willing to bet itis going to give you an ignition coil fault.
