Finally got my car going after putting all new top end in. Problem is now my factory tach isnt working. Where does this hook up at? also anything special I should do to help break in new heads and cam?

 

Comp cams break in procedure...not sure if anyone ever removes their inner spring:

Not sure on the tach, but I'd assume it's the crank sensor. You will not like the location.

 

Do you have to remove the starter to get at the crank sensor?

 

I will double check in the morning to make sure didn't come unplugged. There wasn't a SES light on, so is there anyway to verify if the crank sensor is bad?

 

You know what, this morning I think my answer is stupid, I don't think it will run without a crank sensor...sorry.

 

Anyone?

 

I think IM haveing the same proble I put on a aftermarket intake and now the tach isnt working and it seems to be running in open loop some times. It does idle high till i come to a complete stop. I was told and I was thinking its the cranck sensor also but i dont know why it would go bad. PLease someone help and tell me where to try first. Thanks

 

It sounds like should check the cam sensor first, would make sense if you put a new intake on. Its located at the back of intake, which does need to be taken off to get at it

 

do you have a SES light on also?

 

Generally, it will run with a bad crank sensor, it will just run like ****. These operating systems use redundant systems as a fail safe. If the crank sensor goes bad, it will run off the cam sensor. Same with the map and maf sensors.
