Tach issue for my 96 Civic with 00 GSR swap
I have a 96 EK DX that has no tach. So I swapped it for an EX cluster with tach. I tried two known working EX clusters and the tach still doesn't work. I then looked the blue wire that is C8 of the 13 pin plug.
link for picture
C8 for the tach is connected to the plug. So now I'm a bit lost. Is there anyway I can test for:
1. signal from the wire to the cluster.
2. tach DOES indeed work without putting in another EK.
Thanks!

Re: Tach issue for my EK.....
If you have a scan tool that reads live data, you could check whether the ECU is getting the tach signal. Did you check the C8 pin in the cluster connector? Make sure the blue tach wire is attached to the ICM. Then check for end-to-end continuity of the blue wire from the ICM to the cluster. If that's fine, the ICM may be bad.

Re: Tach issue for my EK.....
and of course I'm being an idiot. I forgot to mention that I have a GSR swap in it out of a 2000 teg. would that make a difference?

How many wires do you have coming out of the B18 distributor? It may not be wired for the tach

Re: Tach issue for my 96 Civic with 00 GSR swap
any updates on this? i'm having the same issue after swapping out my timing belt...disconnected the distributor connector and plugged it back in and now my tach stopped working. i think it may be a loose connection somewhere, does anyone know which blue wire out of the distributor is the actual tach wire, my distributor has 2-3 different blue wires?
i have a gsr swap in my 97 hatch as well.
