got a few questions about my six bolt swap that i have been working on. First thing is the tach won't work. Is there anything that i could of unplugged or not reconnectedright to make this happen? I want to get it hooked back up before i get the timing light out to adjust the fine timing with the timing light. Another thing that i noticed is the gas light is on(as if i was on empty) but i still have between 1/4 and 1/2 tank? Any ideas why that would be happening?

Also. I was told with a 95-99 that you didn'thave to swap the plug wires? With the plug wires in the stock position it wouldn't start we then swapped them as if it was a 97-99 car like magnus swap says and it started right up. What is the fireing order on the coil pack?
 
Are you using an adapter harness for the CAS or did you do the wiring yourself? That is where the tach signal is pulled. Also double check your fuses for the fuel gauge, The engine harness should have no bearing on the sending unit or gauge.

I have a mangus 6 bolt swap harness. Would this be a problem of why im not getting a signle at the tach? Could it be the CAS that is bad or something? I will double check the fuses for the fuel gauge don't understand why if i would have a blown fuse the light would be on?
Do youhappen to know the fireing order of the coil pack? Fire order for the plugs are Cam gear 4-3-2-1 CAS right?
