My RPM sensor reading is 2 – 3 times higher than it should be. 

The RPM sensor needs to be placed at a 15 degree angle to the damper. This will allow for a proper reading.

 Also, please check to make certain you do not have 2 pieces of tape attached. Often we discover tape has been placed over existing tape in error.

 Thirdly, check for chips or pieces of rock that can adhere to the tape during testing and can cause inaccurate readings
