the 98 cavalier has ignition coil packs therefore you cant hook up a tach to both of them or it will confuse the fuck out of the computer. the tach adaptor helps it read the full rpm's. when it is installed with out the taach adaptor it will only read half of the rpm's

Did no one see my post. The Purple/white Comming off of the Ign Module is the RPM indicator (not the one for the guage in the car (if there was one)) if you splice into this wire and run your power and grounds as normal it will work just fine.

Thats what I said.

hey ringsincorona, were you able to get the pics for me????

[ringsincorona]

Yeah but Ive seemed to have lost the usb adapter to my pc, buying one today. Ill get them to you tonight.

[giorgio725]

so, do I need the adapter for the tach or without it works just fine???

If u have a autometer tach u don't need any adapter. I have a phantom 5" tach in my 02 and taped into the ignition wire by the coil packs and it works fine. On ur 01 there is a 3 wire plug going to the module, should be a red/black, a white, and a orange. u want to tap into the white wire. It should work fine on this wire. I checked this out at work on gm's service program

y would u want a tach on a auto trans anyway?

[dualcavy]

I have a auto meter 5" monster tach and I ran my wires to two wires off the coil pack works great eats civics amd intergas for breakfast

[giorgio725]

does anyone have pics of the tach installed in a cavi???

It doesn't get in the way of driving either if u mount it right and doesn't bounce

I tryed everything you guys told me to try and my tach still doesn't work. What should I do?

[jbody1997]

rksports and many other places have a tach adapter you get for 30 dollars .and this will solve your problem . i heard that some tach may give off a bad reading and this will fix that problem too
