Today I noticed that when I'm pressing on the accelerator a little (enough
to make the engine respond and increase in speed) the rpms on the tachometer
don't rise. I don't think it's an gauge problem. When I push it more the
rpms do seem to pop up quickly. But if I'm pressing the pedal enough for
the car to increase speed, shouldn't the tachometer show the increased RPMs?
If the Vehicle Speed Sensor was bad wouldn't it not show anything at all?

Thanks for any ideas you may send my way!

I don't have an answer to your question but I confirm that I have the
same kind of behaviour on my Maxima 94. I was thinking that it can be
somehow related to the vacuum leak I'm having but on the second
thought it doesn't, because I still get rpm increase at once after I
press the gas pedal. It's just that needle doesn't move up until I
press harder.
Hope somebody'd be able to explain this.
