I recently bought a 1984 Toyota Tercel and everything seems to be fine,
however, we got the dealer to install an "aftermarket" (read store-bought?)
tachometer as it was neither standard equip or an option for our
particular model.
The tach shows the car to idle at about 500 RPM (fast idle at (900-1000).
However, the tach rarely reaches 2000 RPM during normal driving!
This seems low.
Does this car really operate at <2000 RPM, or is the tach defective,
or, was it installed incorrectly??
                                         Thanks in advance
