93 5.0 conv. tachometer sticking
My 93 LX 5.0 has 162K miles on it and the tachometer sticks at 3,000 RPM unless I exceed that RPM. Does it more when it is cold. I spoke with a friend who has a 92 with 160K on it and she has the exact same problem, lives in another part of the country. Anybody else have that problem? Know what I should do to fix? My first time here. Thanks for the help.

RE: 93 5.0 conv. tachometer sticking
Well, if you pull out your speedometer cluster, you should be able to take a fork or something and pry the needle up a LITTLE bit (EDIT: from the center)... but this will only help if the needle is getting stuck on the backing... look at it closely when it gets stuck, and if the needle is just contacting the back, pulling it up will fix it.
