wiring obd2 distributor to obd2b harness? is it possible?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i just found a wiring diagram for the two.
the 96' obd2 has 9 wires
the 00' obd2b has 8.

i figured out the 9th wire is the engine speed output wire.
will the obd2 distributor run correctly if it is wired up to the obd2b harness WITHOUT the blue engine speed output wire?

thanx in advance.

 

bump.

i honestly think i am invisable.

prob wont. just run it from the dist to the drvr side. its the blu wire chillin by itself

 

it will run without the tach wire, but your tach will not work.

OBD2b gets it's tach signal from the ECU.

run the blue wire like Ch3mik said and everything will work.

thanks to EE_Chris for putting my head back on my shoulders with this....<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Relic1 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">it will run without the tach wire, but your tach will not work.

I am wrong.
With the OBD2b ECU the blue wire is not needed from the distributor to the driver's shock tower at all.
However if you're running a OBD1 or OBD2a conversion then you need the blue wire.

 

thats wat i had said
