EDIS rpm output?
lewis - 18/2/12 at 04:22 PM

Is there a rpm output on a EDIS unit? I want to test my rev counter to see if it's that or my megajolt that's not working(no rpm on taco) or can I put a multimeter on the taco signal wire to the gauge (I presume rpm signal is voltage pulses??) cheers Lewis.

Yes there is a tacho output on an edis,
although the connector is not on every plug.
It is on pin 11 in between the coil 1 and coil 2 wires.
I have added it to both of my edis installs,to drive the tacho.

Nice one thanks mate I'll bypass the megajolt and test the taco directly to see what's at fault,Lewis.

If you want to add a connector permanently,
i have several spare ones with tails on them.
U2U your details and i will send you one.

I found that the tacho output would not always drive a tacho , I found another option was to connect the tacho to the PIP signal line which seems to work reliably with most tachos that I tried and has no effect on the operation of the mega jolt.

Thanks Paul I will give that a go as another option.
