I have a 94 2 door sidekick with the 8 valve engine and 3 speed auto. I just put in a rebuilt engine and two things are acting strange:
1. The RPM gauge is acting funny on the dash. It does not work in forward drive. It works in Park and reverse. This is very strange to me. Anyone have any ideas why the dash would show rpm's accurately in park and reverse but not drive?
2. My throttle cable (not the kickdown cable) has a second wire with a small metal ball on the end. I could not figure out where this second piece was supposed to go? Anyone know what this is for? None of the pictures of the able online show this second piece.
Also a huge thanks for the site. Was super useful when pulling and replacing the engine.
