It indicates the engine RPM's (Revolutions per minute). Helps when driving manual transmission vehicle to shift at optimum rpms - prohibits engine "lugging" in higher gears. Also greatly assists with automatic transmissions when pulling a heavy load and climbing a steep hill ... It's a gauge that lots of people use more than a speedometer.
Do you mean an oil pressure gauge? Not tach?
need to know how to hook up the wires on the engine on F-150 pick up to make a pro tach rpm gauge work
there will be a spot on back of distributor cap it will say tach run wire from there to gauge. You probably need to run a switched 12v lead as well to illuminate the tach at night. The tach slot on the distributor will take care of 'timing' the pulse to the tach. Often times the tach will have a switch setting for 4-6-8 cylinder. Read the manufacturer instructions carefully.
replace the printed circuit board behind the tach gauge. $15.00
The gas gauge is located to the right of the tach, basically in the middle of the dash cluster that runs along the length of the car.

You could possibly have some common wiring or computer problems that affect the tach and transmission. Run a code check on the computer to see if any problems. show up.
You would always want to have your tach in a very easy to see place. I have seen many mounted on the left window molding. They do make a gauge mount that replaces the original factory molding.
not all Toyota corolla's come with tachometers but if it has one it will be on the left side of the gauge panel next to the speedometer.
theirs a green wire by distributer that is for the tach
IF you have the installation instructions for the tach, it prolly tells you where to attach the tach wire. If not, call the manu. of the tach or search for their website online.
I replaced the gage cluster and everything went back to normal.
