So I have gone over parts lists and can't seem to find out if the Coil from the 1.8 Pulsar is interchangeable on the CA? I think my #1 is going out and just need to know compatibility... My common sense tells me yes, but I tend to second guess my first responses (as they normally are the ones to get me into trouble)

Help please!

I'm not sure on the compatibility but I have three extra coils around and I'd be willing to sell you one. just make an offer.

Much appreciated... I swapped them around and still nothing...

I am having an issue with my tach... It just suddenly stopped working.From what I understand, I believe the tach gets it's signal from the #1 coil firing... I figured it may have been on it's way south. I swapped it out with one of my others and nothing... Now I evidently have a wiring bug to chase down somewhere

I dont know about you s13 guys out there but when our tach's go on our pulsars it's usually due to a faulty voltmeter. It's a little silver matchbox shaped devices that clips into the back of the speedo cluster. Usually, when this part dies or is on its way out it will effect the tach and gas gauge.

Gas gauge is fine, I did notice today that my temp gauge isn't working either

Perfect time to do a full autometer project. Or you can go baller and and get a stack setup going. Just be sure that it's the first thing you remove if the worse happens.
