check for a loose wire at the ICM inside the distributor, if that is good you'll have to check the blue tach wire, and chase it to the break...it would help us to help you if you gave the year of the chassis and the motor, and whether you've got it wired obd1 or obd2 and what dizzy you are using? you can email me at Joe@ondemandperformance.com

i just went out and replaced the temp switch, still not working.. and i tryed running down a broken wire for the tach but no luck, there where guages in the car(oil pressure, A/F, and boost) that we took out, im wandering if maybe we pulled something loose taking those out... any more suggestions?
