Yesterday while on the way to and from work my tach needle started to wiggle upwards from its usual reading of about 3400 rpm. Until yesterday I had no problems at all.

On the way home I noticed that if I was under moderate acceleration or deceleration the tach read steady. When I was cruising at a constant speed is when the wiggling would start.

Any suggestions on how to track down the problem and fix it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Thanks for the replies.

I am running a stock 2.0L D-Jet, with stock points ignition. While I do have the usual tack swings when shifting, I am more concerned with the swings that are going from my cruising rpm of about 3400 and swinging up to 5000 and back. This hasn't happened for the past two weeks. ( I have only had the 914 on the road for the last 2 or three weeks, mostly to and from work. About 56 miles round trip. ) And there is no corresponding change in engine sound or in the feel of the power output of the engine. Everything SEEMS normal, except for the swinging tach.


I will try the capacitor to reduce some of the swinging later.
