Here is my story:
The other day I got this bright idea to hook a tach up under the hood. To the wire that is behind the throttle body. Well it didn't go so well. I got sparks and engine cut out. And later that night I was going to run a log on 1st through 3rd. Hooked up the pda had the car warm ready to go. And it don't read shit, 0hz on lower left corner. So I knew I fried the data cable (the little resistors). So now I can't hook up my 2g system yet until I get one of those. Well I have had time to think about it. So I just went out and did a test on error codes. I can say the PDA is good and the data cable is good. It told me I had a common ECU error. I tried to delete the code and it didn't work. So can someone tell me what that means? The Common ECU error. -------------------- Thanks, Bud!

Wire behind the throttle body? Why might I ask would you do that? Are you talking about the TPS wire? If you wire an aftermarket tach it should be wired into one of the wires coming off the coil pack I believe. BTW, if it's an Autometer unit you'll need a special converter to make it accurate.
