Engine Performance problem
1991 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

Good day

My corolla's rev counter has recently started to first behave erratically and then stopped working all together. The needle will jump when starting the engine but will then fall to the bottom. During driving, it will sometimes jump about erratically.

I would sincerely appreciate it if I could know what causes this problem.

Many thanks.

Check wiring to dist. otherwise it is most likely an intermitent open. You will have to remove IP and look at tach connection.
