auto meter tach install on 98 d22 (no stock tach)

[98D22]

i've done and or tried the following:

cut the brown and ornage wires on the tach itself.

tried to jump the pink and blue wire on pin 7 of the ecu-no signal

tried to jump the brown and yellow wire on the distributor-no singal

any help would be appreciated. worst case i will just try all the wires on the distributor with a test light looking for a pulsing light. thanx in advance.

Per the nissan fsm pin 3 is the tach wire on the ecu connector.

would it be easier to swap in a stock cluster that does have the tach?

nissans being the way they are the wiring for it could already be there.

the clusters with tachs are really hard to find...

Look for an Xtera 1

I just mounted an autometer ontop of the dash all the way over to the left.
Obviously you have a ground and a power.
The other wire i just put into the connection off of the distributor..
It reads my rpm's perfectly..

i just bought a stock cluster that came with a tach for my 98. the cluster came from a 00 model. it wont plug directly in. i still have to get the harness so i can wire it in. just so you know, 98 and 99 are same but 00+ is not, you'll have to get the pigtail to go w/ it

Double Deuce, did you get my cluster to work yet on your truck?

yes sir!... :D

95% of the wires off the cluster matched the wiring on my truck. The other 5% I had to use the fsm to figure out where they needed to go.

im pretty sure 00-01 clusters are the same...

also..

today at work, a 01 nissan altima came in for some work.. Looking at the cluster on it, it looks identical to the one i have. I bought mine off a 00 frontier.

finally figured out the tach signal on the distributor. there are 2 plugs coming off of the distributor. one has 6 or 7 wires. there is another plug with 2 wires. on the plug with 2 wires, the red and black wire is your tach signal.
