oooh...So is that the 3 wires from the CPS? If not whats the "DI". I got the power wires on the tach connected and grounded, and I tried #1(white) and #2(red) to the green, no signal. Should i try the negative wire, as the autometer wiring showed it connected to the negative on that coil?

Tunez, that's what I'm afraid of, but we gotta try.

Try the negative, it can't hurt, but if the RPMS are off, now you know why.
DI means Distributorless Ignition.

Damn, what a pain, motherloving korean engineers. I can't get it to work. I'll take it to Pann auto and let them make heads and tails of it, I hope they know what they're doing. Thanks for the help though, I'll let you know what they make out of it and post.

Dammit...there's gotta be a way to get it to work right.
Maybe you will need to splice into the dash tacho wire...

I dont have a tach display on the gauges in my car right now, so I dont know where i would even get the wire for that. They said what you did Random, I have to get it from the under the dash, so i guess its gonna be a real pain in the ass.. im not about to let some shop charge me $50 bucks to look for one wire.
