how would i go about installing a tach i mean i never done it befor so how hard is it to do i mean if any of u know

 

...you have one?

 

^^^lol


I'm guessing you want the white face gauges?

 

just look through that hole in your steering wheel and there should be one there. huge tach = major rice

 

lol im helping a terrible cause but...


should have 3 wires?

green=some where on the distributor (sp?)

white=something that turns the lights on

red=power

 

im not positive, but i think one of those wires should be a ground

 

generally, you'll have three wires, plus a light wire.

there is one for signal, one for power, one ground.

the lighting wire is obvious.

the trick is finding the signal on this car, i'm gussing that you'd have to find the signal wire for either the fuel injector, or for the COP.

 

why is it a bad idea

 

all cobalts have tachs, he says it's a bad idea because he feels that he is helping rice to breed.

 

because there is one on your dashboard. if anything, just install a shift light

 

mines already got one.

 

touche

 

yeah, no one is happy, lol.

2.2 guys bitch that it comes on twice, SC guys bitch that there isn't one, and i cannot figure out that when i first got the car, it did the whole "light up and the shift point for best mileage" thing, but it doesn't now... at least, i think that it did.

 

ok well i am def not a ricer and never will be i just want the tach for a nice race sport look

 

Fixed for you

 

ya thanks alot

 

sigh...i guess i will help...you will need a tach adapter from autometer. this goes on the coils to read the rpm's from one of the cylinders. the rest of the installation is just tapping power, hooking up the illumination, and finding ground. this thread should get you started https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/show...highlight=tach

 

thnaks

 

I could understand why he would want one on a Redline because the speedo and tach are in the center. On the Cobalt not so much.

 

my thoughts exactly

 

I was looking at ION 5-speeds and that was the major thing that put me off. The looks I wasn't too crazy about either, but that's another thread.

 

ROFFLMAO AHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
