probably something i have done wrong or havent done. i hooked up the red and yellow wires together. im getting power through the plug that connects to the gauge cluster but no tach response. oh and by the coolwhip you were right car handed my *** to me. but it wasnt the fuel pump or the coilpack it was a slow coolant leak that was causing the car to overheat. fixed it and was like a whole new car
