Title: 1.6 rev counter sensor
Post by: emoocie on November 25, 2006, 10:08:06 AM

Hello people!

I have a '92 samurai, with a '89 1.6 tracker inj. engine. I have it all working, except the rev counter. Can anyone tell me where the sensor for this is situated on the engine? I suppose the sensor is just not yet connected to the counter.

thank you for your help.

The FSM that I have for a Vit (UK Track/Kick) shows a brown wire from the tach going to the radio noise suppressor and then a brown/white wire going from there to the IGN-. There should be a link on here somewhere that will get you a Sammy wiring diagram (Acks FAQ probably?)

I found the diagram. I connected the brown cable from the "radio noise surpressor" to the meter. But unfortunate enough it sais nothing. I measured if there came any power from this cable, but it said nothing. Any ideas?

Do you have the Brown/White wire connected to the coil?

I thought it is, but it is worth to check.

I have heard that it's also possible to connect it directly to the generator. Is that possible, or does the tacho not react on these voltages?

It might work, I don't know if it would read correctly. The output from the dizzy is a 'cleaned up' version of the generator signal and is likely to be much weaker. Also the generator output will swing positive and negative so if the rev counter integrates the signal then the result will always be zero, unless there is a blocking diode in the rev counter. If there isn't a blocking diode then the electronics in the rev counter could be damaged. The loading of the Rev counter could also effect the signal from the generator.
I wouldn't try this unless I knew for certain that it would work.

ok thanks for helping, but I can't figure out how to do it. Tomorrow I'm going for some parts, maybe the guy who sells the parts can help me.

thank you for your help.
