ok, so i have been on a quest to intall my shift light. ive been going by what people have said on this forum and tired two different wires. But neither worked so i disconnected the spliced in wire that supposedly goes to a tach terminal. So today on my way to frys my speedo starts jumping around and randomly looking like its "off" then coming back and displaying correct speed for a while. Now is this a problem with the tach, a sensor, or did i mess something up by trying to wire in that tach? Even though the wiring is back to normal? I had everything wired back up half assed with butt connectors so i thought maybe they wernt connecting good...
So I tried a different approach. Would using silver wire instead of copper mess up some kind of resistance or something necessary for the computer? Because in an attempt to fix the problem i had to use some extension wire because the original wires became to short to soder together and heat shrink. So would that be the cause? Or should i look elsewhere? The local chevy told me 98 sunfires had cluster problems and that it was probably the proplem. They are $350 bucks off the bat to replace just for the part. ANY ideas????????????????????????????

well if u still have those but connectors on thats my guess. while butt connectors to get the signal across its pretty inefficient. and they may have been a loose fit so the speedo kept getting crazy readings.
go to a junk yard and jack a bunch of wire out of some J's to splice in.
if u dont have any good yards areound u come to rancho and go up sunrise. there is a TON and they all have LOTS of j's

naw i replaced it with sodder and heat shrink, but the wire i added to take up the space lost is a different type. Would that do it?
-----------------------------------------------------

i woudlnt think so in other electrical situations... but i have no idea how the comp reads from the sensor.... so i guess it COULD... but again, i wouldnt really think so.
simplest thing to rule it out is to go jack soem wire from a junk yard and redo teh splices with the same wire that should be there

Q for u motor heads.
when i first start the car and either ptu in drive or into reverse i got CRAZY amount of vibrations (as im letting the car roll- not applying gas but in gear) only happens when i first start
also at around 45-5500 i think i hear like a tinging sound that goes away shortly before shift, normal?

that car accelerates and stop nearly instaneasly lmao should be in the record books lol
man that sucks.
redo the wiring with wrieing out of another J just to make sure it was ntohign to do with your spliced wire
go to a junkyard clip some wires in a J and take the 5 finger discount
