The rev counter is connected, but I'm not sure for the rev signal, According to the rev counter, the break is at 4200 rpm

Salut


Beau travail pour l'intégration du compte tour
Pour l'ajustement de ton compte tour , regarde si tu n'as pas une vis de rčglage derričre ton compte tour
Sur la Ka comme sur les fiesta post 89 , tu as un allumage jumo statique qui produit deux fois moins d'entrée allumage basse tension qu'un systčme d'allumage classique , j'avais eu le cas sur ma Fiesta Mk2 quand j'ai swappé un moteur de Mk3
Bonne journée et bonne fęte du 1er Mai

Hi, where exactly you get a rev signal?? I know that it runs from ECU to the tacho, but where I can get it? And which cable is the rev signal?? THX

8. Now you need to run a signal wire for the tacho. This will run from the back of the tacho to the ECU wiring harness found in the passenger side foot well. The signal wire is to be attached to either a black/green or black/orange wire found in the ECU. This can vary in Ka's.

I use the black/green but i'm not sure that's the good signal.
The rev counter cut at 4200 rpm.

A idea? (it's a twin coiled)

It's interesting, because if Ka is twin coiled, the rev counter will show only half of rev, so this isn't the problem I think. Just try the black/orange one. I'm going to fit the rev counter today, so will see.

Hi, I've tried to wire the rev counter, but I don't know where I can find the black/green or black/orange wire. Can I find them behind original tachograph?? Have you got some photo, where i can fit it?? THX

Black/green is on the pin 52 and Black/orange is on pin 26

But i'm not sure that's the good signal.
I will try the white/red ( pin21) or brown/red (pin 22) of the sensor crankshaft position

That looks lovely! Would never have thought to put a Ka on those wheels but they really set it off!

Any chance of you sourcing me a left hand drive steering rack for mine? Struggling to find one for less than the price of a small mortgage here!
