Question my tach reads way off and My service engine light comes on after 10 minutes

My tach reads way to high. What could cause it to read so high? It say i idle at 3000 rpms and cant figure out why.Is there a sensor or connector that goes bad? or do these tachs go bad?

My service engine comes on about 10 minutes of driving and goes off a couple minutes later . Then it comes back on later. The engine only has around 100 miles on it since i built it.It didnt start coming on around until around 99 miles. I connected all the sensors and checked all the connectors.How do i check the diasnoc connector which 2 letters do i run a wire to , to find out a code?

I still have the idle problem. I checked all the vacume lines and there connected right. The car has had the idle problem since 1999 before i built my engine. Now it does the same exact problem with the new engine. It idle up and stays up for a while then it idles lower and stays for a while. It goes back and forth way to much.If any one has anymore ideas please let me know. The old and new engine had the same idle problem .So i dont think its the engine.Thanks

If you have an Auto Zone or Advanced Auto near you, they will check your codes for free. At least it's a starting point.

Default Idle problems,it idles back and forth

I had my car hooked up to a big diasnoc today and everything checked out ok. I had to re adjust the throttle position sensor it was adjusted wrong. I had code 22.After readjusting the service engine light didnt come back on and the code disapeared.Ive check vacume lines and engine for leaks but i havent found anything wrong with it. Has anybody have the same problem? I have to figure out something before it causes me some sort of problem in the future. What controls the idle?Does the trottle position control it? I wish it would idle like it is suppose to. Like it did 6 or 7 years ago .The car has had the idle problem since around 1998 before i built my engine. Now it does the same exact problem with the new engine. It idle up and stays up for a while then it idles lower and stays for a while. It goes back and forth way to much.If any one has anymore ideas please let me know. The old and new engine had the same idle problem .So i dont think its the engine.
