What does it mean when the RPM gauge moves back and forth while driving.There is no noticable sounds in engine while this is happening. Engine sounds fine.

This could mean a couple things . either you have a eng misfire which is doubtful as your onboard computer would set a misfire code.

the other possibility depending on where you live could be ice on the road. if no ice where you are could be a prob in the ignition system causing an inaccurate tach reading. and the final possibility is simply a defective tach guage..

How would I know if there was a problem in the ignition system?
