Is the CEL on? Any performance problems?

The tach signal comes on a blue wire attached to the igniter unit in the distributor. If the blue wire and its attachment are fine, then the igniter unit may be bad.

Click here to learn how to pull the CEL code from the ECU. Post the code. Then clear the ECU to see whether the CEL returns.

Fixed it today. The blue wire on the distributor and the other wire was exposed so I taped the two together and the rpm works now
