I had the same problem, eventually I just replaced the gauge cluster. Found it at a junk yard www.car-parts.com .

at least yours works and goes to 2 k rpm, mine just chills at zero HAHA, and just some advice I would recommend you going to the juckyard personaly and plug in the gauge before you buy it, cause I have bought two off of ebay and both times the same thing happens, the needle still stays at zero. Good luck, let me know if you find some one that has more than 1 for sale and that every gauge works.
Thanks

Or have you been playing with the dash?
The friggin' thing just doesn't work right. I just got the car about a week and a half ago, and have yet to mess with anything in the interior.

1) Will I have to replace the entire gague cluster?
2) How many miles are reported on the ones you bought?
3) How much did you pay? I think I've found an Infinity equivilant but its real pricy.
Thanks bro,
Walter

In case you think I got hosed, even with all these complications I still got a good deal on the car.

It could be just dirty electrical connections. I would suggest that you remove the cluster (very easy to do). Disconnect the electrical connectors on the back of the cluster and spray them with CRC Electronics Cleaner. You can get this stuff at NAPA for about $5.

Novice class is a little different then all of the others. Times in Novice are multiplied by a factor called PAX. It is a factor that is determined by the SCCA that is supposed to put all novices on a level playing field regardless of what kind of car they drive. The Focus's best time was multiplied by 0.779 to get his PAX time of 30.759. Notice that the 2nd place Miata's multiplier is 0.812.
The Miata had a quicker raw time, but his PAX time was slower.
