1998 dodge 2500 4x4 pickup speedo and tach problems

Speedo and tach work fine until unit warms up.. then is goes wacky.. speedo bounces all over the place, tach shows higher RPM's then engine is running and the "PI" light and the "ABS" light blinks off and on until speedo and tach goes back to normal.. then when i hit a patch of rough road, it starts all over again

SOURCE: check engine&abs light on, speedo and gauges go to 0

there would either be a shorted wire or the computer is malfunctioning. The only way to fix this problem is to have a mechanic put a scanner on your car and test it. AUTOZONE DOES IT FREE other wise it's about $40

SOURCE: 2006 ram, 4.7L. idle speed is iratic on cold

Idle flare is normal on all newer fuel injected cars. I think maybe you got a little paranoid,probably first spark plug change done by you. Gas milelage is easily explained in 2 ways, one the gov't is making the gas companies put oxygenated fuel into the gas & 2 you could go with a set of bosch oxygen sensors,pick up 15% more gas mileage

SOURCE: 2003 dodge pickup 5.7 hemi motor ---- driving

your problem sounds fuel related chk your fuel pressure. or simply turn key off then to on position (engine off) and see if u can hear your fuel pump run (2-3 sec) then it will turn off.

SOURCE: 1998 dodge ram pickup 318 eng.

If the engine seems to run fine over 1450 RPM maybe there is a vacuum hose leaking or EGR valve is slightly stuck open. Any help from the OBD II trouble codes? Or is there simply no MIL and no stored information in the OBD II computer read at the local parts store through the connector by the drivers knee?

Tach & speedo not working

Had same problem with my 2000 dodge stratus 2.4 liter and transmission would not shift out of 1st gear. Solution was ignition fuse under the hood was blown, one side of fuse working, replaced 10 am fuse everything works, tach, speedometer, gas gauge and transmission started back to shifting.

2000 Dodge Cummins is blowing fuse on the starter solenoid. Also, tach goes to zero and back up to normal until truck warms up. Noticed a momentary hesitation at highway speed once or twice while driving...

wire that goes to the starter not the main wire there is a smaller wire that sends electric from the switch to the starter solinoid might be shorting out (skinned wire between the starter and the ignition switch/fusebox

Toyota pickup tach bounces and sometimes drops out

Sounds like a speed sensor. Commonly located on the transmission. I have seen these make gauges do some crazy stuff! Hope this helps! ~Derek~

2001 Dodge Ram Magnum 360 gas stalling also!

1.Start by changing plugs and wires. 2.Check for vacuum leaks. With the engine running, wigglr every hose you can see, to make sure nothing is loose or cracked. 3.Change fuel filter. 4.Check timing. 5.Check air control valve. 6.Check idle control sensor.

Speedo/tach only works after car has been sitting

More then likely the tiny electric motor called the "stepper motor" is defective, a common failure.
