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

I'm using my 1.4 coil. And I connectet the green wire to my looms green wire and still nothing so I guess I will run it back to the dash

there must be a wire fault.

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!

As mowgli said wiring fault somewhere.
