tach input for 70 series
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2006 2:09 pm
I am looking at putting in a remote start for a 1990 Landcruiser, 70 series. It has the 2L-TE, 4 cylinder turbo diesel. I am looking to buy the Presige APS 56 since I do not want an alarm, just remote start and maybe the remote door lock. I have chased down all of the wiring with regards to the ignition, brake, glow light etc. The one I cannot sort out is the tach input. This has a factory tach in the dash. Does anyone know where the tach signal comes from on this diesel? I tried looking on the back of the gauge. There is a wiring clip plugged in with 12 wires. Could I tap into one of these? I wrote down the wiring colors if that would help. I have read around that it could come either from the alternator or the injector pump. Anyone have this engine that knows where the signal comes from?
Thanks.
Thanks.
