Rpm gauge is way off for no reason??

bthomas87 · 12-10-2016, 10:24 AM

Currently driving downtown Cincinnati and looked at my rpm gauge and it's 3k off. It's idling and driving perfectly normal. What's going on? It's a 2016 sport 6 speed with 13,000 miles. I've never had any issues before.
The picture shows I'm at 4100 rpm and I'm actually idling at normal idle.

Well I had to stop and get gas. I shut it off and turned it back on and now it's fine. Still really weird though

I would take a video of it if happens again so you have proof there's an issue.

The Z's under warranty so if needed use it you paid for it.

I'll definitely take a video if it does it again, idk why I didn't take video the first time...
Once I got the car home I shut it off and turned it back on again and the engine sounded rough for a split second when it first turned over. I pulled my phone out and started to video tape it while I turned it off and started it up again and of course I didn't do it for the video.
I'm gonna take it to Nissan on Monday and see what they say.
The car is completely stock, muffler delete only.
