1993 2wd Explorer Sport, 159xxx miles, M5R1 transmission.
When the weather here in Tennessee started to get chilly early November, my tach started losing RPM's.
It reads 800 RPM's too low until I've driven it for about fifteen miles; then it will jump up to its correct reading - usually after I make a complete stop.
When I turn off the engine and restart it warm, the tach reads fine.
If I start the engine cold, the tach reads incorrectly.
I've seen other threads with the speedometer giving erroneous readings at the same time, but mine has been consistent and correct.
Where's the best place to start?
