Weird civic glitch
HiProfile:
The tach is usually off by a percentage, the speedo is usually off by a set amount plus percentage. If you limit yourself to 10mph over the posted limit (posted = 65, speedo says 75, actual = ~71), you'll stay under the proverbial radar of 99% of traffic cops. I've verified my odometers are spot-on with the correct tire, so they probably built it into the speedo to err on the side of caution. Similar to the stupid idiot anti-lockout on the driver's lock.
The coolant gauge is accurate for what it's designed to do. It basically tells you if the motor is NOT w/in optimal temp range instead of telling you relative temp. It will rise linearly up to ~160F, then barely move from that spot until 220F or so then rise linearly again. I know those numbers are off, but I think the actual values are in the helms manual.

Easy, pull door handle and while handle is still opened, flip the lock.

Hmm popped a fresh P30 stock bin on and drove it today. Same deal, rev limit set to 7411 it cuts at 6500 on the cluster.
Tried dropping it down to 3500 and it seems to cut right at 3500, although it seems slower to catch back on than at higher rpm.
Tried bumping it up to 8400 and now it cuts at around 7000. So... you think the gauge off or is it the ECU?
Maybe I should also mention it's been doing this surging idle pretty annoying lately. turned the IACV compensation down to -20% and that seems to fix it (whatever that actually does I don't know.) The "target idle" value in chrome doesn't seem to have any effect on anything, I don't think it ever did though.

Take a cheap tach from autozone and tap into the blue tach wire (cluster or underhood), test, return gauge.
