tach signal problem
I've hooked up msII but i'm not getting a tach signal. I've already tried to pick up the signal from the ecu pin 3E and at the distributor, the blue/yellow wire. These should both give me feed back but i'm getting zero. What could cause this and what should I try next cause i'm running out of ideas.
daytona blue MX-3 2.5L V6 KL-ZE, KL31 ecu, koni lowered 40mm, freeflow exhaust system (decat), centerforge race clutch, cold air intake Dynamik, front and rear strut bars reactive, OBX race headers, Akebono pro act ceramic brake pads, Techna fit steel brake lines, zimmmerman crossdrilled rotors, reverse glow gauges, spinner gauges, topmix front lip, pakfeifer skirts, pakfeifer difussor, pakfeifer wing, inverted scoop bonnet , 17" bsa rims, etc
The Yel/blu wire takes the tach signal from the disty and runs it to the tachometer in the dash. If its a stock/unmodified disty and if your tachometer is working then the yel/blu wire should have the tach signal.
You didnt metion the year of the car or the ecu - For 92 models pin 3E seems to be one of the cam sensor signals - the tach signal might be available at pin 1G which is actually the firing signal that goes to the ignition module - it might be (phase shifted and) too weak for any practical purposes.

I'm running a 94 kl-ze with a modded k8 ecu and a 4 pins hei.

Do you have the external coil?

Is the colour coding on the E-Spec (Dutch) MX's the same as the NA MX's? Perhaps we're looking for the wrong colour-coded wire. I believe there's an inline resistor that's associated with the the tach signal also.

I've got my tach signal but unfortunatly my battery isn't full enough to give it a good start. Now i have to wait till it's fully charged ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
