hey guys ok i got some new gauges lol yes ones i already have in the dash oh well !!! im only starting out so just really going for looks but want them to work ok , i got have got a new tach , water temp , and oil pressure , all electric gauges i believe , ok so how would i wire them into the ecu to get the signals etc? , i know all the grounding and postitive etc , just which like signals ones? whch of the rpm wires do i use? do i use the coolant temp sensor wire for the water temp gauge? but for the oil pressure my dash already has 1 but of course i want the new gauge to be my flasher 1 lol , so what wire do i use for that etc?? thanks guys will get pics of the install
yes i have had a search around and couldnt find what i what , but i bet some one knows!!! , so tell me your know ledge and guide me to the right path please ok i looked on my ecu , and for G- : wire is thin red G1 : thin dark green G2 : thin white NE : thin black Thw : median thick red sorry to be a pain , so which wire should i use for my rpm sensor for the gauge ?? also do i use the thw for the water temp sensor ?? also have a oil pressure senor , which wires do i tap into in the car for that ?? im really lost with this and dont wanna screw up anything , so any help would be appreciated , thank you!
lol even tho no one has replied for instructions i coundnt help but have a play so i connected the sensor wire from my new water temp gauge to my coolent temp sensor wire , and well something bad happened , really really bad!!! ok lol the car drove down the driveway fine , then it started loosing power , etc engine light came on , and starting misfiring badly and blew black smoke , and im like wtf!!!! , so got dad to push me back into the car port , then i took off the wire , reset the ecu , started her back up and she was all good to go , im completely lost why it would of done that but i dont care now as it is back to normal so can someone at least give me the correct rpm wire? , i tryed one 1 um g1 ? i think but that had no results , im gonna give up on the oil pressure one and temp sensor , as no im not in the mood for playing anymore and scaring the crap out of me and thinking my cars stuffed , so please guys i know some one knows the rpm signal wire!! i took apart the dash to look and all i see is a bunch of wires going into it so dont know which wire i use for the rpm browsed a few webbys 2nyt and found one saying to use the igniter wire , igt or igf also found it in the technical section under a 3sgte ecu tho will def give it a shot 2mrw
haha very wrong !!! lol car was creepy drove fine then just5 started running rich then dieing lol gonna go try do my rev meter , i dont wanna touch the others tho haha
ok pics!!! , but sadly enough im taking them off ! , as they kinda block my view a bit when cornering , bit of a shame but oh well.
the RPM signal wire goes to negative wire on the ignition coil! edit: also remember these guages are for use with normally 4,6, and 8 cylinders! you need to have it on the right setting, there should be a switch if u unscrew it, you probably have wrong RPM reading because the tacho is set either to 6 or 8 cylinders
