Tachometer problems + loud noise help please
So here the situation I have, the other day I was driving the car tacho hits 2500 rpms and is stuck as if that the max it can go, switched into sports mode and back it was some what fine. However the car starts making this weird noise GUNGUNGUNG and I don't know whats going on. Drive home a hour later I start the car and BOOM the car sounds louder than a v10, tried driving it but it tops out at 1400 rpms and doesn't go faster than 30 km. There a huge scent of gasoline inside and outside the car. I had problems starting the car twice before it started gungungunging. I hope someone has a idea or a went through this and hopefully it not a extreme problem. So what your take?
Please and Thanks guys

Is the check engine light on? If so you need to have the codes read out of the computer.
You also didn't say what year the car is. If it is a 94 or 95 check link to learn how to pull codes.

As to OBD-II scanner, my favourite is Actron:

Look around, as some other mfgs may have good products as well. If you do not do a lot of diagnosis, then the cost of a scanner may not be worth it as you can visit an auto parts store and they can pull codes for you.
