Asked by Chuck89CamaroRS Aug 29, 2014 at 12:23 AM about the 1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My Camaro Speedo and Tach both are reading significantly higher than the actual speed.. (IE: at 65 mph I am actually going around 50-52mp)

I have the normal sized wheels and tires on the car - 205/65/r15

No clue why it would be doing this.. any ideas?

I have a 1989 Camaro RS V6. On my way home from work yesterday I noticed that all my guages are floating the speedometer was bouncing around between 60 and 70 sporadically. The temperature gauge, oil gauge, rpm and gas gauge were all floating around when I slow down they all start coming back down? For just a second I smelt a very strong burning smell (electrical) that very quickly faded. The SES light has been on constant the whole time this is happening. Same thing was happening on the way to work this morning car is running and driving just fine. I guess today when I get home I can check the codes to see what codes I get as a starting point and work my way from there. I will also check the ground wires to see if maybe I am not getting good connection somewhere. Could it be my battery by chance? Maybe even a stripped wire somewhere?Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 4 Answers
