wiring the rev counter

[2lbill]

hi folks needing a bit help here i just bought a 2lt nova with a digital dash in it all works fine apart from rev counter and temp gauge . where will i get a wire to connect to so the rev counter will work . do i just connect the blue wire straight to the temp sender many thanks billy.

Blue wire on the temp sensor yep. Rev gauge will need a wire connecting to the coil and back of dash (Green). Have a search its all on here.

Welcome to PNG btw.

my nova dont have a traditional coil its got the coil pack on the side of the engine witha milti plug into it.

Near where the ecu is mounted you should have either a few plugs connected to the car, or wires connected to the car loom where the ecu is getting power etc from.
One of those wires should be green, thats the rev counter signal, so join that to your digidash green wire

[2lbill]

does the green wire come from the ecu mate.

[Adam]

Yeh, and originally goes to a small green or black plug in the footwell.

[2lbill]

so will be ok if i splice into the green wire straight out of the ecu then mate.

[Adam]

I dont see why not. Check the spare green wire isn't just taped up somewhere though, as its easier just to join to that.

[2lbill]

ok cheers for your help adam much appreciated .will get a look at it tommorow.

I'm guessing that you've already checked, and that this is actually allready fixed and is a dead thread, but I've only ever had 2 digi dashes, and both of them only had about 3 working bulbs in them! I can't even remember how they light up now but could that just be the problem?...

[mayhem]

the main lighting on a digi is just 2 bulbs, weird, expensive ones though.
