tach help! please help if you have any knowledge on tachometers for 96-00 ek.(dx,cx)
alright, i bought a tach from autozone, because my car is a CX and doesnt come with a tach. my brother mounted it and did everything for me. we started it up the light worked and everything. the tach was way off at first and he messed with it a little til it worked, but it was idling at 2100 rpm( i think it is wrong) my car has no problems at all, so its not my car. i went to start it up the next day and everything worked except for the tach rpm reading. it was idling below the 0 and wen i revved it, it went backwards. so my brother disconnected the green wire and now he's being a giant deusche so im doing it myself. please share all info you have or any past expieriences. 
were wut wire do i tap into and how exactly do i do it.
thank you, please explain in detail not good with electrical at all.

Re: (EK tommy)
isnt there a wire you can hook it up to on the harness that plugs into the cluster? and then theres a single wire on the driver side of the engine bay closeer to the firewall you can hook it up to
and lastly... why didnt you just buy a ex/hx/lx cluster? try and return that and ill sell you an ex cluster

Wouldn't be very smart considering he got it for free. I highly doubt you'll sell him an EX cluster for cheaper than that...

Re: (96hatchy)
there should be a sender wire near the fire wall on the driver's side that is blue connected to a harness with a black rubber cover

i know, its not really rice, at least its not a huge 5 inch tach w/ a huge *** shiftlight. the reason i got mine is because its subtle and small.

Re: tach help! please help if you have any knowledge on tachometers for 96-00 ek.(dx,cx) (96hatchy)
Just in case you might have the same problem I incountered the tach might have a small switch on the back to select what cycle motor 4,6, 8. If its wrong you get wrong reading. I had it right but bumped it somehow and eventually figured it out.
Nice green wire I used the same shizz from Kragen ha ha.
Also you don't have to connect the RPM wire to the Dizzy Their is a blue wire on the harness at the right of the hole on ur firewall. Regardless if your car comes with a tach or not you should still have a RPM signal blue wire on the harness. If I have time I'll take a pic and post it.
PEACE
