Tachometer and Car Alarm not working
My tachometer is completly dead. I looked at a wiring diagram to see what the problems is. Apparently the tackometer is connected directly with the check engine light. Since I have completely disconnected my ignition wires, fuel injection wires, MAF, and EGR, my Check Engine light is always on, my alarm cannot be programmed for remote operation, and my tachometer is completely dead. I don't know if they are all related. I know the ECU sends signals to each one of these devices. I would think as long as the No. 2 speed sensor is working it should still register. My ECU operates three things now, that I can think of. Electric fans, idle air controller, and ABS. All function normally. I have considered disconnecting my Check engine, and reconnecting it to my Tec 2 Check engine circuit. It might also be possible to connect a tac signal from my tec 2 to the factory tachometer, but I would rather not. Any suggestions on what could be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Chuck D.

Cam Sensor
Yes it is. But I'll check it again. Thanks. What about speed sensor 2. Do you have any idea where that is?
Thanks Chuck D.

Speed Sensors - aka the VSS's control the speedo, not the tach.

VSS 2 in your models [and in the JDM ones] is plugged into the transmission just beside the dipstick for the differential, on the rhs near the front of the box. In the Euro boxes, VSS 2 is inside near the parking gear. In both types, VSS 1 is plugged into the back of the tranny near the rear output shaft. Again, rhs. The engine revolution signal is output from the ECU at pin 16 of connector B61. B61 is a 16 pin connector, 2nd from left at the ECU. According to my manual, B61-16 feeds a Yellow wire to the power steering unit connector B53. Directly opposite this, so presumably an output, a feed? goes a White wire with Lavender stripe to the combination meter. You may have a bad connection somewhere in this lot. Check page 6-3, [04014] if you want to study it. Joe

Thanks for the info. I'll check it this weekend and see if I have a break somewhere. By the way, not to highjack my own thread, but I noticed you live in Ireland. I have family in Wicklow County (DiGerlando is a nice Irish name isn't it ). Actually its my mother's side (O'Reilly) Where are you from?

Wicklow is a neighbouring county. I'm from Kildare, which is west of Dublin. Wicklow is south of Dublin. Reilly or O'Reilly are fairly common surnames round here. I live in Maynooth, which is at the north side of Kildare county. Most of Wicklow is southeast of us here, but where I went to secondary school [high school], quite a few guys from Wicklow attended. As I said, adjacent counties and good neighbours. If you are visiting your family here, give me a call. Joe

Alas, we have a new son. He is only 17 months old and might have a difficult time on such a long trip. We don't get to do much right now. Likewise, if you are ever in Orlando give me a call. You never know when you might want to see the mouse. Take Care Chuck D.
