:lurk: have a similar problem with mine. occasionally it will go all the way to the right and stay there like it is stuck. Then after driving awhile it will bounce back and start working.

Mine is mechanical but the electric ones have some problems with the boards going bad. Probably need to replace the board if it continues.

The tach filter may have failed. It filters out the spikes. Does it bounce more the higher the RPMs go?
