I'm sorry but i gota say this, all the people on here that are saying the speedo jump is normal when you rev the car in neutral,
are fucking stupid.
are fucking stupid.
It is normal. The reason the needle jumps is because it is more apt to catch your eye, as opposed to just a warning light. Same with the audible warning.
that makes sense, i will look into that man thanks for the tips. someone on another forum says theirs does it too.
i could have sworn this never happen before though :/
i really never noticed this before. lol the one about the needle being a warning is classic though !
I was just fixing to say...sounds like an electrical problem. Those spedos and tachs are connected together like a huge printed circuit board. A small conductive particle across two leads could cause some weird shit to happen. A poor ground as well.

Understood. but why wouldn't my speedo be affected at any other time during vehicle operation if that was the case. weird :/
There are some switches on the transmission that talk to the ECU and perhaps some of the components in the instrumentation cluster as well (shift light, when it is in gear versus neutral, etc.)
HTH

anyone paying attention? lol
MY SPEEDOMETER IS MOVING WHEN I REV MY ENGINE AND MY CAR IS NOT MOVING.
Oh geezus...
Looks like the new Camaro has the same problem....

My car does the same thing. Rev up the engine out of gear real quick (over 4500rpm) and the MPH jumps up a bit. I work on all sorts of vehicles and find that some do it and some don't (most chevys do). Never heard anyone complain about it yet. I myself am not worried about it either. As long as the tach and speedo work as and when they're supposed to, it doesn't bother me. Although, if you find any info on the matter please post up. I'm curious now...lol.
Thats from revving and messing around on the highway... i get 23-25mpg all week back and forth to work13.8 mpg? and i was complaining.
