Starting today, on the way into work, with no forewarning, I'm having electrical issues.
First thing I noticed was that my tach stopped working right. With the car off, it sits at about 1800 rpms. Idling it shows about 2800. Rev limit is about 9300 on the tach and VVT engagement is at about 6700 (so it's now nonlinear as well as as nonzeroed). Then, later in the drive, the speedo/odo stopped working and stayed at zero. Later on, after some hard cornering, the speedo started working again but the tach stayed broke.
Then, later on in the drive, it died on me twice at lights. Started back up again, but twice the engine turned off twice idling at a light. It's never done this before. Sometimes the idle drops to like 4-500 when stopping at a light but then it pops up again. It's never died before a single time, much less twice in one drive.
So, obviously some fun electrical issue. I don't know how the systems on these things work - I assume the dash is entirely electrical, so it's pulling a speed sensor line from somewhere, same with the tach/etc., and so some connector is loose. Any idea where I should start?
