DamirGTI 341 Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) If the tachometer needle drops or bounces the faulty may be the primary ignition check all the wirings and connectors on the ignition system particularly on the coil and the ignition amp. ...

gerlewislewis 0 Posted June 24, 2008 whilst on the topic of bouncy guages, my speedo bounces a little, is this just due to a loose connection/missing split pin? or something more sinister.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's part of the 205 charm, or shall we call that - speedo cable routed over exhaust manifold, so it cooks all it's lube prematurely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
richard 0 Posted June 25, 2008 I have something similar that occurs around the 4.5k rpm mark upwards, it will jump around a bit after this when taking it to around 6k, doesnt do it if im smooth and gently take it to that level, but if i am to snatch a gear and hoof it thats when it happens. Only thing i can think of thats changed on my car is the ignition amp. Maybe you have a damaged or dirty connection there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
