No, sorry my bad
I've got the cossie engine loom, just need to somehow make a focus tacho and speedo work with it. For my little project We want to keep the focus loom as is and patch the yb loom into it if that makes sense

Tacho isnt fed from the ecu on a Cossie. It comes off the coil like an ancient car does, conventional coil style.

no idea.....but the ecu does not have provision for a tacho output.

Perhaps there is some sort of circuit to modify the coil signal before going to the rev counter on a wasted setup ?
