Take the signal from Brown/pink wire of any of the coils, don't matter. You are probably the victim of induction signals. First of all, you should connect both green wires, same point, close to the ECU, and NOT at the coil. To avoid induction, use a shielded wire, from the ECU to the back, or close to the tacho. Cut the green wires to length. Or pull a braided ss steel hose over the green wires, and ground at one end only. In both cases, better use a soldering solution for all connections.   Big Bird, Bordeaux with " Celtic theme " Airbrush, 2010, 1700CC, ABS, 65.000 km.

Here is the part of the diagram that has to do with the coils. 26 is the designation for all four. All negative wires from the coils are Brown/Pink. They are paired with 4 different colours, one for each coil. Green/Pink Green/Purple Green/Black Green. If you find the pairing, you can tap into any of the Brown/Pink. If you have tapped in at the spark plug/coil before, you can try with an unshielded wire to the green on the tacho. If you still have problems, try with a shielded wire ( principle like antenna cable, core wire and braided shield. Shield must be grounded at one end.   Big Bird, Bordeaux with " Celtic theme " Airbrush, 2010, 1700CC, ABS, 65.000 km.

Is the tach you purchased programmable? If so set it at .5 pulse. Connect the green to a coil wire, red to switched , black to ground. That was my set up with a Speedhut tach on my 2010   You'll never be first but you might be next 2014 Commander Post edited by Hornet on 21 Feb 2019 - 13:09  Author  Post     VABird  Jupiter Reg.

He may be starting soon work on a Gearingo gear indicator for the LT/Commander that has provisions for connecting an aftermarket tachometer. Will be available through JBQ. Stay tuned, but as with most new products, will need some development, so don't look for it too soon.   The ride may be fun, but in the Great Scheme of things, it really is about the destination!
