is there a way to make your alarm know the tach voltage? mine is coming back around 12-15 voltz is this what is it expecting or am i sapposed to program the unit? ive placed the tach wire to the casing of the spark plug wires and it worked PREFECt for the first 2 times. then afterwards it stopped working. the spark plug wires changes voltages so i dont beleive its proper to place it there?

i drive a 2000 focus wagon se

i gota a carvox king eagle alarm system.

any help would be great.. thanks again

ok i tested 1.0 voltages ac.. still the starter keeps starting afterwards.. is 1volt to low? the book said it needs to be between 1-6. is there a way to fake for like 3 voltz to test it?

so your saying the problem cant lie on the tach speed? what else could be causing the starter to reengage even after the engine is idling?

im testing right from the wire from the distribuator cab... from where all the spark plug wires come from. the injector signal is 1.0ac as well.. exactly the same...

no its a little while attached to the distribuator cap.. it is the proper one.. i feel that its not putting out enough to hit the 1 volt ac.. is there a way for me to FAKE like 3 volts to test it? cause the charge from the battery is 12 voltz dc.. any help to resolve this problem would be great... regards

Does your " CarVox " instruct you to WRAP the wire around the Spark Plug Wire?? ( some R/S do )

Or does the TACH wire hook to a TACH Signal??

well see that is where it got interesting.. i says to peel the wire from the tach wire and bind it together.. but i put put it onto a spark plug wire and it works for 3 times starting.. then all of a sudden stopped... i really dont get it.. but just happened..

this is where it puzzles me the most.. i thought that if i gave it a 3 v current and it works... then i can applify the power.. but i sappose not cause you are completely right.. if it calls for the tach wire.. thats what its sapposed to get
