Help!!! Installed Reverse Gagues, and tach is stuck

I just installed the reverse indeglo gagues, and everything is fine but the tach. It sticks at around 2000-2200RPM and once you get to about 4000 rpm it jumps up. Its fine till it reaches the 2000-2200RPM area.

What should i do?

I had this happen too except with the speedometer. You need to put more double sided tape on the back of the gauge face to hold it flat against the back. Because whats happening is the gauge face isnt flat and the needle is catching on it at that point and getting stuck, so if you make it more flat then the needle will move as it should. Be careful of this happening w/ your gas gauge mostly since it moves so slow...dont think you're getting incredible gas mileage all of a sudden

The same thing happened to my friends mustang after he installed his guages except it was the temp guage, he sat neutral for like an hour with his engine reved until it overheated b/c he was waiting to the car to warm up....

Nope i drove for about 3 hours, the gas gague, speedometer, & temp all work fine. If i take it on the highway and wack it to about 90-100MPH it kicks back in. But when i take it appart i'll tape it down a lil better.
Thanks for the help =D
