  • speedo meter wont idle until 2000-2500 rpm, help please

    I notice that when I hit the gas at 0, my speedo meter wont move until it revs up high enough (3500 rpm or so) after I filled up full tank gas and added fuel injector cleaner. I also did reset my ecu recently as well.. what could be causing this?

    Your post doesn't make much sense but I'll take a crack at it. Or maybe you don't know the difference between a "tachometer" and a "speedometer" in that case I would suggest selling your car as you aren't ready for one yet.
    So you're driving along and the speedometer won't read until you're going fast enough to be revving ~3500 rpm?
    Your speedometer is cable driven (depending on what year your car is) so RPM is irrelevant.
    Perhaps your speedo cable is about to fail. Not uncommon.
    Or if you are confusing the names of your two primary instruments and your tach isn't reading until you've reved to 3500 I'd suspect something binding on the cluster or possiblely a bad tach wire. The harnesses in these cars are old and will crack.
    Providing some more details will help us help you.

          no I didn't add injector cleaner, don't care if its odd or not. I don't give a damn what he knows. and I just fixed it, because I know exactly what I am talking about.

              this is happening to my car, check it I know its not normal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWAep_o41Uc, look at the idle of the speedometer (not tachometer) 0:01 and look at the rev. and I so i think i was able to fix it and it came back and I started my car just now it was idling at 1.5 rpm

                this thread is full of retard. You wont take help from senior members who try and help. Your op makes no sense and i dont see anything wrong in the video although i dont have too much experience with auto skylines

                  Wow! Turn down the boost there Turbo.
                  If you can't take a little poke then perhaps a public forum isn't a good place for you until you grow some thicker skin.
                  You don't have to get so spun over peoples comments and if "you know exactly what you're talking about" than perhaps you're smarter than all of us and don't need our help after all... or...
                  You can rephrase and add some info. It's obviously going to make sense to you but not necessarily to everyone else reading and trying to help you.
                  I apologize if I offended you and will be sure to be less abrasive in the future.
                  I am glad you got your car sorted out.
