Driven to Insanity(in a good way)

So anyway, I got my plate for my 7, NOW I can drive it to work and such. SO I found out why my gas guage didnt work, no fuel >< Im so used to a good fuel Econ. and my Tach worked for 5 mins then died again, so Im either assuming Battery or as a buddy told me alternator. So when I find out, one of those will be fixed or replaced. Other then that Im gonna do a full tune up, new fuel filter, and flush the fuel thingy( im working 14+ hours in the Navy right now Bear with me ) so yea. after that I shall finish my mods. Peace out

Tach gets it signal from the trailing ignitor.

Yep, you most likely do not have any spark on your trailing plugs. If so, then start looking for a replacement. On some years, the fuel pump will also fail to work if the trailing ignitor goes south on you.
