I cant be revving on first to the max and marking 4000 rpms..... I have a 4 cilinder Zetec the panel is for a V6.

They all interact in questions of resistance and voltage, because they are interconnected behind the cluster. The Temp Gauge is the same for all, that�s the only one that stays. Thanks to my Ford dealer tech support. BTW,some parts are Canadian and some are US made. ------------------ Zetec V4 K&N air filter Tornado air system Nology Hot Wires Double platinum Sparks Eagle GA tires Ventilated Titanium Discs Infinity Kappa series 4-6x9-200W 1 Infinity Basslink Subwoofer 200 W RMS MTX Bluethunder Amp. 100W x 4 RMS And very soon Full Ebaich Kit.
