    curtoise, are you using the e16se coil ? or your original??

    the ignition controller (which is usually mistakenly called the ecu & bolted to the bulkhead), has a green output for the rev counter

    right i just ran a wire from the green on the coil of my 1.6's plug to the dash and i could see the needle moving but the engine not starting......
    i took the wire out of the dash and the engine started but no rev gauge :S fishy!
