Where did you splice the green tach signal wire into?...If you went straight from the coil make sure it was the negative side...

Yea I got one.

Check your connections. Does it get any power at all? Bad ground maybe.

i found a tach in friends garage and it has a black red and white wire comming from the back

the black is ground
the red is hot
i think the white is illumination because it wont read a signal

should there be a green wire? any suggestions?
