Title: Digital techometer on V8
Post by: fish on October 05, 2010, 21:49:11

Hi, does any one have any idea how I can get my digital tachometer to display a realistic RPM on my P6 V8? I have done all the obvious stuff like check the dip switch settings and connected to the coil negative. Any ideas greatly appreciated as currently at tick over its showing anything from 800 to 1500 RPM!

Hmmm, obviously you have it set to 8cyl. Shouldnt really need anything special to make it work.
