Tach isn't picking up fluidamper

[12valvetater]

Ive finally gotten my truck running after almost four years of sitting. Iut a fluids per on it due to the stocker being wasted but the tach doesn't work now. I hooked the sensor up with the wiring that came with the fluidamper, but the directions were pretty vague. Is the something I am missing? Has any one else had trouble with this?

Do you have .050" gap between damper and sensor?

I started with that but moved it closer because I thought it might be worth a try.

Should work at .050. May be a wiring issue. Mine has worked flawlessly.

I ditched the wiring that came with mine and just extended the wire bundle from the engine with a couple splices. That way there was no confusion of wire colors AND, if the ESS fails it is an easy job to replace it. I think you managed to wire it wrong.

I was able to take the wire from the engine harness on the right side of the engine and move said wires to the new location with out having to cut or slice wires.
