Default micro edge causing rpms to flux

Finished installing the micro edge and as soon as I plug it in my rpms flux, you can see it on the tach and hear it from the motor. Anyone else have this issue? I can have the car running, unplug the edge and its normal, plug it back in and same issue. Its reading everything like its supposed to read so I dont know what gives. I used the tach signal by the coil if that matters(yes the correct one).

I'm sure its something small on my part, what that is, I'm not so sure lol

I would start by checking all connections. Maybe even try another pick up for your tach signal? I agree, it's prob something small and simple but finding it can drive a grown man crazy, lol. Even double check set-up?

hmm, I am using the same tach signal that is on the pass side coil pack. I know that wire is right.

I also did a sanity check and cleaned rewired last night because I installed the edge and removed my fjo controller. I can try using the tach signal by the ecm, not sure why that would be any different but its worth a shot. I'll do that and get back to this thread.

Is there a step by step programming install by vehicle?

There are so many variations to set-up, so having a how to per vehicle would be, well, hard. I do agree the directions can be a little tricky to follow.

your RPM pulse set-up is correct also? Might have to wait for the HSW guys, Mike was on here earler? Almost sounds like a wiring glitch somewhere?

I have it set to coil/plug. That is the only setting that reads the correct rpm.

fluctuating RPM sounds like you tapped the wrong TPS wire or a bad connection somewhere.

Fill out a support ticket if you don;t mind and we'll get you straightened out

As a reminded to everyone, you will get a faster response using the support system. We check it more often than tech and it is easier for us to track additional questions you may have.

I filled one out earlier after Robert posted. I'm not sure how I could have a bad connection, I was outside soldering wire at 1am making sure I wouldnt have issues. I tapped the same tps wire as just about every other gto guy, I thought. I figured if anything it would be the tach wire. I'll wait on the ticket from you guys.

I should add that its wired to the green falling signal from the tb. Should I try the purple?

I swapped the tps wire from green(falling) to purple(rising) and the problem has gone away. I think I have it set up correctly now, thanks.
