I need to get a tach signal generator or booster module for a vehicle that i have that doesn't produce a strong enough tach signal ( 1990 Honda CIVIC DX ) & 86 VW Golf . The unit that I'm installing doesn't have alternator sense and the car doesn't have injector wires ( multi-port ) for me to tap into. If anyone else has any ideas on a tach solution, please feel free to let me know, otherwise I need to buy one of these modules and preferrably from a member of this forum.

I've asked my distributor but they don't understand remote start tech talk and they are FrenchNeeded: Tach Generator or Boost Module -- posted image. ( Not bashing the French but it's hard to get them to understand what I'm after if they are not installer's or familiar with the trade. ) Let me know what you guys have and get back to me at velocity@valleycable.com

TIA

You could run down to parts and try another coil
or Try a vacuum signal generator
MICRO makes one  # MCSHW  Tach wire hooks to that ...mmicks tach signal

Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to get a response back from those guys at AutoStart. How much did you want for (2) of them ? The vehicle in question are 86 Golf Diesel and a 90 Civic ( multi port injection ).

Let me know kgerry, TIA

The Civic has a AC voltage of .6 at idle and goes up to about 2 when revving up at 4 g's. The .6 is too low for the remote start to be able to get a proper signal from. This is a problem and there is no injectors on this car becuase it's multi port FI.

The diesel has the tach signal on the alternator and there was no problems getting the tach to learn, but the problem lies when it sits for any amount of time, the remoet starter tries 3 times and no start.

Hope the tach amp will work
