hi,
i fitted a tacko meter with shift light but its stopped working, i connected to the wire at the back of the dash going to the rev counter, not the + or - the other one (think it was marked TA or something) is that the right wire or should i have gone to the ecu, if so what pin,
cheers phil.

 

Whats stopped working, the OE Rev counter or the aftermarket Tacho.

I have removed all OE dials and installed a custom dash cluster including a Tacho, the only way I could make it work was to pinch a feed from the coil supply wire.

 

the after market tacho stopped working, which was the coil wire you took from? i will try that.

 

If it was working correctly to begin with then I would stick with using that signal wire. For it to stop working means either the Tacho has failed or a loose connection.

I have the coil pack on top of the manifold. There are 3 wires feeding it & 2 are 'pulse' wires. One wire controls 1 side of the coil cylinder 1&3, the other controls 2&4. I took the the feed from 1 of the pulse wires but had to tell the tacho the engine was a 2 Cylinder.

thanks very much for the replies, ill have to take a look at the tacho itself as it was working but now it just says SET and none of the buttons do anything,
by the way simon, just waiting for the turbo to be fitted with new seals (dont ask, long story) and ill be giving you a call, thanks again,
phil.

 

no worries
