Normally, the Isuzu does not have a tach so no tach signal for that purpose exists. There is an rpm sensor in the IP that goes to the TCM for transmission control. I don't know what this signal looks like. For the FJ62 tach, you need 3 pulses per engine revolution. Normally, this signal comes from the ignition coil primary. If you look at this signal on an oscilloscope, you can see that is very "noisy" so the tach input circuitry has to do a bunch of filtering of this input signal. This filtering circuitry allows you to drive the tach with some pretty bizzare signal, i.e. the signal from an ABS wheel sensor.How does the Isuzu normally send tach signal? Is there an issue with the type of signal that it sends so it wouldn't work with the std wiring and tach?

Below is what the standard tach signal looks like on a stock FJ62, very typical of a Kettering ignition system. When I get a chance, I'll post a photo of what the signal from the ABS sensor looks like.
