Is that the original and correct engine for that year and model of car?
Is the computer correct for the engine you have?
Did someone replace the engine but not replace the computer with one specifically for the new engine?

If the tachometer has become inaccurate, readings may appear lower than actual?

I bought the car from a friend of mine and he told me that some time ago the rpm began to show a lower value than the actual.

If you want to confirm the tachometer on the dash is not accurate, obtain a different "known good" tachometer (digital, aftermarket gauge, or voltmeter-multimeter with tach function), connect it to the RPM test connector then compare?

The tach gauge in the dash is probably bad, but using another as a test would confirm the inaccuracy.

i dont have money to try other guage. Any other optiom?
-buy a new gauge
-buy a good used gauge from a auto recycle yard
or ignore the bad gauge, it is not hurting performance nor hurting the rest of the car
