just swapped in a JDM ITR motor into my 94 hatch and the tach was working fine...had a few wiring problems and got them all worked out..but then cranked the car and hey no more codes no more nothing wrong EXCEPT..no tach

any ideas on what to check?

 

What kind of tach? Cluster, or Aftermarket Autometer, etc? Make sure the tach is receiving a good signal. Mine was slightly loose, and it didn't register. Try even driving the car around for a little while, reving the engine, etc, and see if that initiates the tach; this actually happened to me.

 

where would i check for a loose connection? its the stock ex cluster by the way, we tried hard wiring a aftermarket autometer tach in as well, its just not receiving a signal for some reason

 

From what I've learned your tach gets it's signals from inside the Distributor. I fixed my Tach problem by attaching a wire that fell off the internaly from the ignitor coil (distributor). Take your cap off, rotor and dust cover and check your wiring.
Good Luck.

i had a problem with my tach with my b16b where it would bounce around... in the end i had a loose screw on the coil if i recall just tighten up all the screws you see in your dizzy.
