I just got a new 290i-c command start, I was wondering if anyone would have the wiring guide and step by step wiring instructions, also a wiring guide for a 1992 olds cutlass cierra. Thanks in advance

If it's like any other CS model, you hook up the fuses to the RED and the RED / BLACK wires.

You do not have the tach wire properly programmed. When CS makes the units it is set for 6 cylinder mode. You will need to program it for 4 cylinder mode.
