tach not working???
i need some help ive replaced the tachometer in my 83 rx and havent had any luck getting it to work..... it spikes a inch on start up and wen i do a cold rev engine shutoff.... im loosing patience with this does anyone know of a possible fusible link or anything im missing that will get this working??:banghead:

Is your trailing coil good? Was it working fine prior to the swapping?
|
the car runs and drives fine anyway to tell wether the trailing is good?
|
and the cars tach hasnt ever worked since i bought the car in may

If it hasn't worked since you purchased the car then there is a chance that the Yellow/Green tracer wire (i think green tracer) may not be connected, but then again you did state that the needle does jump. ? ? ? weird
Edit: The yellow/green tracer wire is the signal wire for the tach. |
I believe every wire that needs to be connected is. distributor and coil connection. My car back fires alot and I mean alot could that be an attribute of no trailing plug ignition or poor ignition becouse of a bad coil?
|
Pull a trailing spark plug out and check for spark (keep it away from the fumes that will exit the plug hole when you crank it over). Could be a bad coil, or ignitor.
. |
Move the coil signal wire from the trailing to the leading coil and see if that
helps your tach. With all the backfiring you either have a spark issue or a fuel issue or both. If you can rule out the spark then you can work on the fuel. Kind of hard to deal with a fuel issue tho ift he spark is unknown quantity. |
Checked the trailing plugs and didn't get anything so maby my problem lies with the coils going to get some today if that doesn't solve the problem with the tach I guess that would leave the wire
|
Check your ignitors first.
|
pUt the new coil in... Nothing pulled some used ignitirs guess that's my next try
|
trailing ignitor was the issue!!! thanks for the help now....... to takle the delorto carb and sidedraft set up
