i got a 4cyl and i just put a v6 cluster in w/ a tach so i could put my new gauges on. im assuming its measuring for 6cyl instead of 4cyl... cause it shifts @ 3k rpm.... if not i might have spun the needle one way on accident when putting on the gauges.. so does it only read for v6 or did i move the needle around one time on accident? thanks...

i've never known for a v6 tach to work on a zetec
i think u'd be better off getting a 4 cylinder tach for your year...

the V6 one will work fine on a 4 cylinder.
his problem is casue the 99 and newer don't come with the tach wire already there from the ECU.

Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

Yes, should work just fine. Electrical speedometers feed off of the ECU. The "V6 speedo" (if you will) will automatically read your "zetec computer". "Electrically wise", the V6 speedo and the Zetec "sport" speedo are the same. There are only the cosmetic differences (V6 above tach needle and little "4" below the tach needle) and some "option" differences (e.g.-traction control, etc.). I wouldn't know all of this if I didn't have a long and drawn-out conversation with a speedometer shop technician. HTH Josh.

My guess would be you spun the needle and "messed" it up a bit. I'm not sure of the "proper" shift points, so I can't help you out there. If you know where it should be shifting, you can play with the needle until you have it where you want it. I did that with mine when I installed my first white-faced BNM gauges back in 2001. It took a 1/2 hour or so, but I got it near perfect.

Thanks Rob... tired winding it back once but it still reads the same no matter what... i think im gonna end up selling the tour in a little bit anyways... WAYYY too many problems with the car.
btw Rob, i still never put those side skirts on cause i never found brackets  i called ford the other day and they said like $7 a piece for the large ones and like $15 a piece for the meduim sized ones... thats a shitload of cash! so i think im gonna end up selling those that sux cause i really wanted to put them on my car....
