Default Issues after shift light install
Hi guys,

I just installed my Harlan shift light and followed every step from install U and when done the light comes on upon ignition key then car stutters to start and farts as well as no tach signal. The car will start and seems to run fine, is this a bad cam sensor? Any help is much appreciated. I tapped into PCM for tach wire per instructions. Car is 01

Did it eventually start? This happened to me right after my h/c swap as I forgot to plug my cam sensor connection back together.

I took out the PCM to run my tach wire thru fire wall...I'm thinking maybe a pin is bent when i put back? that's why its not reading the signal...? I am gonna retrace my steps and see....
