on and off tachometer

The tachometer on my 95 850 stopped working properly. Funny thing is that after driving for a while and turning off the engine, once you start up sometimes it works correctly for a while and then stops again. The crankcase sensor is new OEM as well as the cam position sensor. Anyone knows where I ...

Re: tachometer not working

It is apparently a very uncommon failure. I do not recall seeing any osimilar on the board.
Do you think it might be the sensor?

tachometer not working

The tachometer in my 95 stopped working. Sometimes it wakes up and workss normally but the working periods are becoming scarcer. I think that what sends the signal to it is the crankcase rpm sensor. However if that is the problem wouldn´t the engine stop working? would´t it trigger a check engine ...

Re: EGR Leak

It means that the EGR valve is letting some exhaust gas to go into the intake when it shouldn´t. The EGR valve acts on a open or closed cycle, and is commanded by the ECU. It should be open only under certain conditions. If it is leaking, even at idle, it means it is not shutting off completely as ...

Re: Front passenger door does not open from inside

Thanks SBJ. I will follow your directions next saturday. I have owned this car since new and this is the first fix I chickened out from. I really thought I would have to get the lock mechanism out, and a new one is expensive as hell.

Front passenger door does not open from inside

My front passenger door does not open from inside. I have removed the door trim and checked whether the lever is connected to the lock itself. It is and visually I can not see anything strange or loose. The lock actuators work perfectly on all doors but the door only opens from the outside. Anyone ...

Re: Picture of a "Yellow Bulb" iluminates on dash

That bulb will iluminate upon steping on the brake whenever one of the brake lights is burned. If it iluminates continuously when you have the beams on, it means one of the running lights is burned (might be the beam bulb or the corner light bulb)

Good luck!

Re: My heat isn't working....

Afew questions: 1- Do you have manual or electronic ac control? 2- Are you sure that your heater core is not bypassed?

Hot water from the engine circulates full time thru the heater core. All that AC control does is to open or close a flap that directs air thru the heater core and from there to the ...
