I just finished installing my tach and now my car idles at around 1500 RPM and when I rev the engine. The revs come down really slowly. stay at 1500 rpm for a while and then they will finally drop to 1000. The car was at operating temperature so I dont know whats going on.

Also... The light for my tach wont work. I spliced into a blue wire with a red stripe that is connected to the headlights switch above the foglights switch. Is that the right wire to splice into? Please help with that too. Thx!!
