 Subject: Dak gave me the Heebee geebee's
IP: Logged
Message:
Today I went to go pick up a friend from high school. After the they got into my Dak and I passed a fews lights, coming to a red. Of course I applied the brakes, seeing that I really didn't want to crush the little civic in front of me. When my speedometer caught my eye. It was climbing instead of falling. It was a smooth, good paced climb to 120 and pass and dropped right back down. I thought I blew something or my gauges took a sh*t. But when I got going again, they all worked fine, in fact they were smoother than before. Any ideas? A sign that my gauges are looking in the future for replacement? Its a 2000 RC Sport V6 with only 38,000. Any insights would be appreciated.

I'd say it's some kind of sensor or maybe a bad ground...but that's just a complete guess.

Sometimes when i spin the tires my tach will shoot way past the redline (even though the engie isn't overrevving) and my speedo will get stuck at around 60mph, but after a mile or 2 of driving it all goes back to normal. Maybe it's normal??

That's not normal... I'd guess speed sensor. Not sure where it's located... rear-end I think. Sorry, that's not very helpful.

No problem, thanks for your input, just wanted to see if it was a coming problem. I mean being at a almost complete stop and it climbs passed 120 than back down and runs normal when I get going. Just weird. Maybe I had an Enclose counter of the Dak kind. LOL. Thanx for your help.

the speed sensor is on the top of the rear dif. I havent replaced mine, I cleaned it when I changed my diff fluid though. sometimes after a decent burnout, it would act a lil funny (i dont burnout anymore) then in a few miles it would be OK.
thats just my .02

(i dont burnout anymore) SURE You Don't
My tach likes to stick on 2000 rpm when its cold
outside like below 0 and every once in a while all
will read low or high for a few secs than be normal
All 3 of my daks did that but never had any probs

hehe ok larry you caught me LOL!!! I dont do it often anymore, ok is that better :-P at least i try not to....
but sometimes I pull out onto a road with no traffic, and hit the gas a little bit too hard lol!!!
it only really gave me problems when I would powerbrake (i honestly dont do that anymore) the closest thing to powerbraking i do now is torque braking. now i just torque brake it, and take off from a red light like a bat out of hell!!! I can surprise even fast cars like that!!!!
its not powerbraking until your tranny goes into second and your speedo says 55!!!!
