Default Hard to start and tach not working

i replaced the flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate and it all works great except when i try to start the car it will turn over just fine but will take about 7 seconds or so to actually start. along with this the tach stopped working. i check all of my connections into the transmission and they are all good. any help??

Check your Cam sensor- you probably broke the sensor, or wires going to it, or burned them, etc.

Crank sensor...or cam sensor. Good luck. Both parts are approx 50.00 each

Behind the intake manifold, you need to take it off to replace the sensor.
