Where to connect tach wire?

[aaron7]

Ok, I have a tach for my 92, but I'm not sure where to connect the signal wire... I know it goes to the coil (what side again?), but where is that?

[bob022004]

my coil is mounted on the strut bar on the same side as the distributor. or just follow the plug wires off the distributor. usually its the one plug wire in the center that doesn't go to a spark plug but to the coil.

negative wire on the coil is a tach lead..... the coil on your 4afe is IN your distributor, it has 2 wires that go to it, a black (negative) and a brown (positive).....

Ok, so splice it into the black wire going into the dist cap?

[toyotaspeed90]

um, no... there are more than one black wires going into the cap.... pull the cap off, find the coil wire, and go from there.....

Make up your mind man!

[toyotaspeed90]

the COIL has 2 wires.... one black (negative) and one brown..... under the distributor cap are more than just the coil.... the ignitor and magenetic pickups are in there as well (ignitor has 5 wires and magnetic pickups have a total of 3 wires)....
