Default RPM Delay

RPM gauge has a bit of lag in my kitty. There is a bit of reaction delay. Gauge doesn't sync up with engine instantly. Don't know about speedo. Hard to pick on it. Wondering if it is a sensor or something. Any ideas?

Did a full scan with snap-on, no codes or anything. Trying to figure out where would be the rpm sensor. Probably that needs attention. Hopefully its not excess resistance in wiring.

when you did the scan did you look at live data, how does that relate to the guage? and engine rpm?

I did... live data matches with gauge but doesn't synch up with the engine though. Its only the delay other than that it shows accurate information. It has been like this ever since I had this kitty cat. Never bothered but this delay makes me feel like my kitty has some lag in pickup. Its not the instrument cluster, either wiring or sensor. Because there is delay in the live data too. Need to locate the rpm sensor so that I can do something about it.
