rev counter help

Hi I need some advice just finished fitting my tacho and it's not working properly it's a telemetrix one and I have connected it as the instructions and I am using the ecu to run it but it flicks about at tickover and when you open the throttle it reads about 5000 + when it's only doing about 2000 when I connect my meter it's reads correctly anybody got any idea or have I got a faulty gauage ?

Why not try the low tension side of the coil?

Probably a daft question but just how many cylinders is the gauge set at?? Noticing that you've a v6. It’s not still set at 4 is it??

Yes it is set to 6 cylinders its an automotive multi meter which has revcounter settings on it so it can be used to check revcounters are reading correctly or if it has not got a revcounter.

What input is the telemetrix gauage designed for? The ECU tacho pulses are only 12 or sometimes 5 volts, so if the tacho is designed to run on the igntion coil primary where it will see a few hundred volts then it is unlikely to work properly.

mhhh

dunno the type of triggering you need.

There are system wich trigger using a zener diode on the 100Volts pulse wich gives of the coil. (like mega squirt)

and there are systems wich just trigger on the negative coil side (many clocks).

Tks

I have seen this problem a couple of times when the unit is not properly earthed.
