Hi, I'm in need of some electrical help for the rev counter and water temp gauge..
Firstly the car was/is a 2000, 1.7 that I've swapped with a Focus RS engine running on Omex 600 management.
The rev counter signal is taken from one side of the coil pack. This is enough to make an off the shelf, 2 cylinder tacho, work. When I hook it up the puma clocks it doesn't work too well and the needle flickers on idle, and flickers badly when you rev the car and drive it. Put my foot down the needle just goes straight to 7,000!
What I need to know is what electrical component do I need to stick in line to smooth the signal?? Do I need a voltage reducer? I've tried a transient voltage suppressor, which only made it a little worse if anything.
As for the coolant temp gauge, I can't seem to get this to do anything.. I know that one side of the sensor must earth? the other goes to the ECU, then 1 wire from that to the clocks. The Puma ECU has been removed completely... (to tidy it all up)
If anyone can shed some light, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks,
Ben
