    Sorry for intruding on Temp3st's thread, but is it worth just buying a new dizzy (you said $150ish). OEM dizzy cap and rotor is $140 already. No need to open it up etc

    Yeah see mine isn't just a retarded tacho, it will accelerate erratically when the tacho does that, so it could very well be the TPS. New distributor hmmmm that could make sense too I guess, I'll have to check those people mentioned above out, the car is going back to the mechanic's next week for check up so I'll just go through it all with him then

    If the tacho is spastic, could be the dizzy

    If the speedo is spastic, VSS might need replacing

    Speedo is fine, only the tacho. Any way of testing the dizzy?

    Just do the dielectric grease on the ICM connections costs about $3 and a bit of your time and if it doesn't work you can go from there. I had the exact same issue you are describing on my b16a and this fixed it. Car was accelerating badly to 2000rpm then would go ok then hit VTEC and be sluggish, just shit in general! Tachometer was bouncing all over the place as well.

    Btw, you can get the grease from any computer or electronics shop such as Jaycar. Dunno about auto shops
