Default Need Tach Help

Installed Autometer 2 5/8 tach. The tach looks great just one problem, it seems to only be registering 1/2 of the actual RPMS. For instance when the factory tach is reading 1000 the autometer is reading 500 and so on. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

Thanks for the help in advance. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

It needs to be in 4cyl mode. I had to clip the brown and orange wire loops. See your instructions on how to get yours in 4cyl mode.
