I have read all the posts I can find on the subject, and all I can find is that the tach lead is a tan/red wire @ the ignition coil. The problem is that I cannot locate the ignition coil. I called some buddies and they said that each cylinder has a seperate coil pack w/ a GREEN/ red wire common to each and another wire independent to each. They said I could pickup the signal from the independant wire at any one of the coil packs. I tested them and I get 14 volts with the engine running, but my tach lead needs to see 0-5 volts.

I have read mabey that it was the RED / tan wire located at the ecm connector c1 pin 8, tested that with no results. any help will be appreciated.

Did you test the wire in AC mode on the DMM ? Make sure you do this in AC not DC.

I am using an old Avital phoenix w/ a Q-start module. I do not know the tach learning procedure as I cannot find the install manual I had when I bought it. Looked @ directed.com and avital.com, search engines, called around to the local shops, nobody knows. I'm pretty sure thats my problem, landed the wire now I have to program the tach.

Jeff, I tested the wire in AC and got about 1.8 or so with some fluctuation w/ rpms, thank you.
