amenity prostart 3300, 06 ford f350 diesel

I am looking for a wire to ttap into that has no voltage till truck is running only,It can not have power of anykind in constant,acc or run positions.The truck is a 2006 ford f350 diesel powerstroke,thanks

what exactly are you trying to do?rtfm

I am trying to get remote start to work.The stupid thing will not learn the tach and there is no tachless feature on it.However there is a vacuum input but you cant get vacuum off a powerstoke diesel.So what I want to do is either use the normally closed - or the normally closed + from the vacuum sense to allow truck to start and not shut off after 5 seconds.I played around with it already and here is what I got . I have to remote start truck once it is started but before it shuts off in 5 seconds I  either need to touch the - to ground or the + to power for a second or two and the truck will continue to run in remote start mode fine but if I leave wires on and go to remote start the engine cycles glowplugs (12 seconds) then gets a very slight crank and stops so I have to remove wire and restart then when started touch either wire to - or + any idae where to get power only on when engine running or a positive that switches to ground when engine starts

What did you install?   I have never heard of a vacuum sense connection on a remote start

A lot of units won't learn the tach signal on the 2005 and up Ford Superduty Diesels. Using the 454T tach signal generator is a good work around.

I've done two remote starts where I couldn't get a good tach signal and what I did was wrapped the tach sense wire around a spark plug wire. Coiled it around about 10-12 times and secured it with 3 zip ties. I forget who told me to try this trick, but it did work.

amenity prostart 3300 and there are no sparkplugs on a diesel.Are you positive the tach generator will work

I use the 454t on every single 6.0 liter Ford that I do and have never had a single tach problem since I started using it. It is also a very simple hook up. It zip ties around the power wire coming off of the alternator, has a power, ground, and one wire to go to the tach wire of the rs and that is it. Very simple and works like a charm.
