Its long, but PLEASE read.

MSD RPM ACTIVATED SWITCH: Is this **** hooked up right? When I connect the wire for the MSD RPM Switch, it makes my tach not work. I pull the wire off, and my tach works again. Its starting to **** me off! Is the wire connected on the wrong side of the plug? I have my 12V going straight to the battery, the ground goes to the metal casing around the radio, and as show in the pics, the yellow/green wire goes to the vtec solenoid (I didnt have the plug so ran the wire straight to the metal tab), and the white (red for extension) wire goes to the tach.

TACH WIRE FOR MSD SWITCH



VTEC SOLENOID PLUG



ANOTHER PROBLEM IS... my car is blowing white smoke. I just did the mini me swap and something isnt right!! When the car is running and I take the dipstick out, its slightly blowing clear/white smoke out in a stream out of the dipstick hole. Its really light and can barely see it. I also have alot of moisture in the exhaust flow. It burned oil before I put the Z6 head on, so I was thinking the black residue is from whats left in the exhaust piping. The head was rebuilt and I know the problem doesnt lie inside the head. I also am using the Y8 head gasket which is brand new. Someone please help!! Any NJ'ers that can possibly come and take a look at it for me? I'll pay you to fix it. Its getting on my nerves.

your tach wire should be connected to the Blue wire. And it should work fine.

I may not work properly because your wires a corroted (sp?)

And the blue wire shouldnt be cut, you should splice it and join the tach wire to it.

But other then that I'm not really sure what else might be wrong.

 

The blue wire is spliced.

Anyone else? TTT

 

Possibly a blown head gasket even though its brand new!!?

 

Yeah sounds like a blown head gasket, does your coolant or oil look like chocolate milk?

 

Alright thing is... You know how theres 2 dowel pins in the head? Well, I just slapped the head on with 1 dowel pin. I used a brand new head gasket though. I'm thinking about it now and its really kicking me in the ******* ***. I was so much in a hurry to get things done. Now its backfiring. The car idle's fine, and runs good. Except for this problem.

YES, when I removed the radiator cap, what was dripping off of the cap looked like milk.
