starletno1fan Posted July 16, 2006 Author Share Posted July 16, 2006 how do i determine which wire the green one goes to? i.e. which wire is the sender wire?me n my mate r trying to figure it out atm. anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 if im right in thinking the sender wire is the one that is supposed to go to the ignition coil to read the revs then it can be wired to the diognostics box at the top right of the engine. its the one that says ig-. i just pluged my wire in that and it worked a treat. if this isn't what you mean then just ignore me!
