I've done them with voltage and engine sensing on and its never a problem. you can hook up tach, but its not really necessary. let the car crank itself.

The tach signal is used for more than just engine sensing on many units. Granted I can't speak for the OP's unit, but many starters use the tach as an over-rev protection. I've sometimes had to use voltage sensing and yes it does usually work fine... but that doesn't mean its done right.

i don't think the avital 4111 has an engine sensing option. I will try voltage.....and if that fails run the actual tach wire.

I don't think i have used a tach wire in about 3 years, i have been using virtual on every one with out a problem but this is a ford, so who knows....

All the other methods are a kludge, tach is the only proper way to go.
