    GREEN RPM wire afc?

    which wire in the harness is the wire to the tach? I looked up all the wires in the harness and have not found the tach wire. Should I just run a wire from the - side of the coil?

    solid blue, you will see it on one of the coil plugs.

    so, I ran it to the wire in the harness and I do not get a tach reading in my display. It moves sometimes, could this just be a shitty connection or am i suspose to do something in the afc?

    just soldier everything and use heat shrink. there is no fun in trouble shooting electrical connections.
    good luck with the mechanical portion of the build.
    if you get a map sensor cel throw in a "y" splice on the vacuum line just before the map sensor with a check valve. it needs to vent to the atmosphere.

    all wiring in the above illustration is at the ecu after all color changes in the harness.
    you can tap the side of the box. though i am not sure the btm he is using has a tach connection.
    besides its cleaner and easier to tap everything under the seat.

    Re: GREEN RPM wire afc?

    i just ran it from the - side of the coil. Everything works fine, just the tach jumps around. I did the double ground(1cm apart on the same wire, brown towards ecu) and double power. I need to play with it more....

    Re: GREEN RPM wire afc?

    yeah, the tach on the afc actualy jumps around when the engine is under load, but correct at idle...this actualy just baffles me. Anyone?

    Re: GREEN RPM wire afc?

    just wanted to add something, you can access the tach wire right next to the HVAC blower, if you don't want to mess with the cluster, it goes into the AC delay module, that module has a built in safety limiter for the AC compressor, it cuts power to the clutch if the rpm's are too high, so the same wire is there that feeds the tach in the dash. the factory coil also has a built in 2.2 K resistor, everything that runs off of the tach signal in the car is in line with that resistor.

    yea the rpm limit of the compressor is lower then the redline of the engine, the box that delays the compressor start also has the rev limiter built in
