tach sensor wire & remote starter (1 Viewer)

[whodat]

My remote start is taking 2 starts to fire up. So to fix this I can hook up the remote starter to the tach sensor wire.
option 1
The diagram I have says that it is a black wire by the ECM. Is the ECM behind the glovebox?
option 2?
The wires coming out of the igniter are blk/red & blk/wht, is this somewhere I can hook in? if so which one?

Can't answer your question, but I can put you in touch with someone who maybe can. Try fj40ryan@yahoo.com, he just installed a remote start on my 80 a couple days ago.

I pushed the stripped wirefrom the remote starter into the tach wire lead of the diagnostic port connector (engine bay firewall, passenger side) temporarily, until I tapped into the actual tach wire, never got around to switching it and it worked like a champ for over a year, 'til I sold the rig.

This is good info...found the port connector. don't suppose you remember which exact recepticle?

No, sorry, I sold the rig a month ago, and the factory service manual went with it, hopefully someone with a manual will post it up for you.

i bought a bulldog remote start on ebay for 40 bucks. the tach sensor is usually optional...use when it takes more than once to start.
I hooked into the ignition harness, a little tight in there...but workable.
the first link will give you color wires to look for.
the second link is a good msg board like this, except electrical wackos instead of birf wackos.

The tach wire I tapped into for my remote start is on the ignitor on the drivers side fender, kind of below the brake resivour. I have pics on my computer at home, if I get a chance I will post one later for you. If I remember correctly the wire is black, but don't quote me on that.
