Hi guys my name is Les and I drive a 88 Jag XJ-S with a 5.3 V12.I have an issue and looking for help if possible.
Some time ago (after having engine washed :dunno: )my tachometer quit working. The tach is fed from an ignition amplifier which contains a GM ignition module.The module sends info to ECU and tach via 2 resistors,6.8k to ecu and 10k to the tach.I've determined the 10k resistor is shot.I tapped into the feed line and added a new and functional 10k resistor.
The problem????..... the tach works when revs come up but it is reading about 400 rpm slow through all rev ranges.Can I recalibrate the tach? or should I use a different resistor
I've attached a pic of insides of the amplifier
Thanks in advance
