ok i have a 98 ex using that harness and put in a d16y7 that was obd2b now i heard that all you have to do with the wires on the distributer is match the colors and forget out the extra. my 98 ex harness has 9 wires and my d16y7 has 8 wires coming of of the distributer ( i was told and have read that there is only supposed to be 7??????) any ways colors dont match, need to either figure out what wires go to what or what colors control what on each car but cant find any diagrams and the book doesnt help

98 ex harness has
white
yellow/green
yellow
black
green
light blue
dark blue
red
black/yellow


d16y7 distributer has
yellow/green
black/yellow
white/blue
peach
black
light blue
peach/blue
white

peach might be an old red maybe faded, not sure???

 

i found a diagram and wired it to that, this diagram had everything i needed except my tack isnt working, i am told the wire you leave unpluged controls the tach on 96-98 ecu but on 99-00 the ecu does that so im running a 00 ecu, now what do i do with that extra wire to make the tach work?

The blue tach wire from the OBD2b ECU pins to A19:

Run that wire to the tach.

 

ok i got pin a19 and ran it over to my cluster but im not sure what plug or what wire to put it on, i figured it was the blue wire in the 3 wire plug thinking the tach is just a pot switch but it didnt work, so what wire on the back of my cluster do i want, i have a 98 ex

 

anyone know what wire the engine speed pulse (tach wire) is on the back of the cluster?

 

It pins to the blue wire at C8 in the cluster.

 

Ok I ran the wire from a19 to c8 on the back of the cluster, found out that plug c on the back of the cluster is the one big one on the side and not the one in the middle and it's blue wire in case anyone searches this later on, thanks for the help!
