Default new tach

Got my a cheap $30 tack at orillys (or how ever you spell it) today and took me like 30-40 mins to put it in. Works great for a little cheapy tach .

Looks nice. Is it working? Judging by the gauges the truck seems to be running, but no idle RPM.

I hope it's not running if it is he needs to look into the no oil pressure and no fuel thing that is going on?? Lol That would also explain the cel being on too.
Buy the way nice looking tach.

You have headers so I'm guessing you didn't hook up the EGR tube? The computer only sees if the EGR valve is moving, it doesn't know that there's no exhaust being pumped through it. So if you make sure the EGR is working right other than the tube then the light will go off.

Possibly a vacuum problem or control solenoid problem. If it doesn't bother you it doesn't bother me.
