Hello Guy
heres the story my girlfriend has gone out a brought me a birthday present... and it tuened out to be a digital tacko...

the thing is i don have the heart to tell her that an auto dose not need one... to make things worst i don really know how to install it and to tell you the truth i don really want to spend money on installing it.

here is a scan of the instructions

You'll need a pin out diagram of your ecu to find the correct wires to splice in. Or someone knowledgable here with a similar ecu can probalby just tell you which ones do what.

When I installed an RSM meter I had to go to a honda dealer and ask them for a workshop manual for my car with wiring diagrams to connect it to the ecu. They'll let you look but not photocopy, so I took a pen and paper and wrote down notes. Spliced the wires together. This was because my ecu wasn't very common though. Have a look around the net.

edited post since I didn't actually look at scan ;)

d00d... maybe you should just get a new gf, j/k!

i think the manual has easy enough instructions to understand! The right side of the diagram connects to your ignition wires and the right side of it is connected to the listed parts.

I bet ya you didn't bother reading it! Besides it being just a digital tachometer, i think it has fuctions that a digital kill switch would do? You know... security features!!!

Wouldn't be all that bad putting in a "Smart Auto Timer" whatever it does, but I think getting a new gf would be a better option! ;)
