i need to know if i can make this work....

reason is....... when i idle up with the music on i have no idea where my rpms are... you cant hear the car with the music up and you cant feel the motor.

also open to any tachs that may be better... or cleaner.. or even smaller. thanks ssa.

I believe MSD makes a box that will provide a tach signal with a couple wire hook-ups, but your car should be new enough to have a tach wire in the PCM

i have remote start... and it has a wire going to number 5 coil. weird. this site says it should be on number 1

[djjdnap 78]

wait #5 coil or wire?

i thought it was only 2 coils, 4 on each side

or

for the sensor that checks to see if the car is on? basiclly the one u wrap around the spark plug wires?

i dont think it really matters

[jonbearsmt 919]

i have 8 coils.

just tap into the wire thats connected to the remote start.

its a tach signal, just be sure to setup the gauge accordingly

I know I'm bumping a oldish thread but you can buy a tachometer with an inductive pickup for distributorless vehicles.
