That points towards an issue either with the cluster or the connection from the engine ECU.
The dash is the one major difference between the Catera and Omega, and without seeing behind the cluster there may be additional wiring/plugs for the extra displays/warnings. I suspect that the alternator only feeds the charge light (and battery voltage gauge), whereas the rpm signal comes from the engine ECU information (crank and/or cam sensor). If the pedal trick works*, any codes may highlight a discrepancy. * It should as the car is DBW. The speedometer issue is almost guaranteed to be unrelated. |

Tomorrow or Wednesday I will do new video with voltage arrow. But I think arrow is stable and always at same position.When the rev counter is erratic?And how does the battery voltage gauge look...On dash it looks like normal voltage. That light is seatbelt warning for pasenger. |

Put a Kia Forte through its paces across the Los Angeles National Forest.
For a wwd shitbox with a CVT gearbox, it was actually quite fun. |

It's not a question of being in a hurry or not. You either go past or hang back. Getting pissed off isn't a solution.

I was in no hurry, so was happy to make him feel a little prick, assuming he even used his mirrors - they might be an optional extra
 Had I been in a hurry, I would have nipped up the inside when possible, or gone up an slip road, and rejoined. |

And how does the battery voltage gauge look...On dash it looks like normal voltage.  Or should I test with voltmeter ? |

To me, the only thing the originals do better than refurbished ones is that the ball joints are rivetted on, not bolted.The balljoints usually last nearly forever, and the rear bushes are dirt cheap and readily available. Once you fit the other shite, you lose these benefits. Obviously, if you only plan on keeping it another 18 months, it's a moot point. As if somebody has already put pattern ones on. |
