Hello guys!
i belive in giving, you know, you've gave me so much(the forum and all of your contributions)
here's the info:
i want a tach on my diesel! dont we all?
i started reading and reading and reading and didnt find anything concrete!
so i decided to do it myself
i had a Crankshaft position sensor of a VR6, found the pinout online and is like this
with the two notches pointing up terminals are 1 2 3
1: 12v input
2: tach output(here you connect the tach)
3: ground
so as instructed you have to provide the 12v( better to be switched, so take it from the shut off solenoid), the ground from wherever and send a cable from the tach to the #2 terminal on the plug of the CPS.
add two nuts to the damper, welded glue whatever you like, build a bracket and that's it!
there you go!
here's a video! it's in spanish but is self explanatory! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpT7qOaRco0
let me know what you think!
