Tach Not working
ok so i swapped a 99 b20 jdm into my 97 civic ex
the tach doesnt work and i was wondering where i can find the wire that sends this info to the guage.
i had to change the dizzy plug from obd2b to obd2a, and the blue wire(9) is just sittin there not hooked to anything

Re: Tach Not working
Here's a question for you guys:
I have a 2000 Honda Civic DX/Auto (Bone Stock)
The stock cluster doesn't have a tach, can I swap my cluster for a 00 Civic EX/LX/Auto and will the tach work automatically; or will I have to do some hardwiring? Thanks!

Re: Tach Not working
So if I have a 99 civic and I am using the obd2b -obd1 harness and a PO6 I will need a 96-01 b16 distributor and tap the blue engine speed wire to the body harness tach wire? Does anyone know which wire is currently running to my tach?

Re: Tach Not working
manual and automatic clusters are interchangeable.

Re: Tach Not working
Nevermind it works!!!
Okay thought id explain this since I finally figured it out. Heres my setup:
1999 civic 4dr, d16y8, 5 speed
OBD2B - OBD1 conversion harness
Neptune software
MY INSTRUCTIONS
If you take the distributor cap, rotor and cover off you will see a spare male terminal on the ignitor (next to the rotor shaft), simply run a wire from that spare terminal to the blue deadend plug with the black weather cover over it on the driverside strut tower by the hood prop and BAM!! The tach will work.

Re: Tach Not working
You can plug in a 96-2000 LX or EX cluster straight in. CR-V clusters will too. You can either use a auto with the gear indicators or a manual. The Auto clusters are in less demand so are generally less expensive. Browse the marketplace forums. You can get them on ebay but don't pay too much for one, especially an auto cluster.
