whats up guys... occasionally when im driving my 98 lude and accelerating my rpm gauge drops to zero real quick and goes back to the rpm i was at... it all happens quick... there is also a noise along with accelerating... like a faint (and annoying) whistling... any ideas? my guess is its something electrical...

 

Could be your distributor going. Typically on Honda's they have a sensor in the distributor that drives the tach signal. How often does this happen? Does it happen if you park the car and rev?

 

I thought it might be that too. If i park the car and rev, as far as I know, it does not happen. It does happen once in a blue moon while im driving. How about the whistling sound... same thing, distributor?

 

I don't know about the whistling. It is hard to say what it is without hearing it.
