wiring up the tach
How do I go about wiring up the tach for my S5 engine that I put in my fb?
In the fb, the tach is connected to the negative wire for the trailing ignitor. I tired connecting this wire to the external tach connector on the fc trailing coils. Didn't work. I later found out that you have to short the check connector for a tach to work through this wire. However, I removed this connector when modifying my harness to put it in my FB. How should I correctly connect my tach? |

Originally posted by hornbm I later found out that you have to short the check connector for a tach to work through this wire. The tacho output on the trailing coil is the yellow wire with blue stripe. |
ok now the aftermaret tach connector is yellow and blue, just like the wire comming from the coil itself. I assumed that they were the same wire.
Is this the same wire? It makes me wonder if the fc and fb tach's work differently. The yellow and blue wire is a grounding signal right? Cou;d I connect my tach to one of the negative leads for the coils? If so which one should I do? Both? |

I am not positive but go to fc3s.org and look through the wiring charts and find the wire that you need.

And I checked, yellow wire with a blue stripe, off the trailing coil, that is the tach output, just splice into that.
