: Hey there..
: When i bought my 81' 323i it had a 86' E30 323i engine in it and the tach was all dead, i've checked the power and everything but its dead.. i've spoken to some auto-electrical specialists saying: "the tach is reading from the ignition coil". there is three cables out of the tach one purple ("+") two brown
: ("-" or something) and a black one that the haynes electrical diagram says its "-" wich i cant understand where do the tach pick up the rpms? from the center lead or the two brown wires.. they all read 13volts. But when i try the purple(+) and the center lead, then it reads like 0,250 or something.. when i clamp the throttle down it reads different but not logical. i want to try to take the center lead and connect i directly to the coil "-"
: where there is two black cables wich makes perfect sense one to whatever and one to the tach the. "+" one on the coil is green. Since i got one spare intrument panel, but i dont want to blow the whole ignition. so i hope a auto-electric expert can help me out get the tach back to life.. or someone email me a scanned wiring diagram so i can understand a bit more
: Regards
: Aleksander
Robert:
It got to be a motronic since there is a computer like box in the glove box. one of the wires is not connected can this be the problem?
anyway will it be possible to connect the tach directly to the coil without blowing one of them?
thanks again
