The "Green" wire from the tachometer should be attached to the negative side of the ignition coil only, and usually (but not always) it is a black wire with a white stripe or it is a solid white wire that will come off from the negative side of the ignition coil and often has a tab on the wire that says "Test" or "Tach" and the wire ends with an open black connector that is used for connecting a diagnostic device or tachometer for diagnostic purposes, and this is the wire that the green wire from the after-market tachometer should attach to. The "Red" wire should be attached to an "ignition" source connection on the fuse panel and have battery power when the key is in the "Run" position only, the "Yellow" or "White" wire should be connected to the "LPS" source on the fuse panel, and the "Black" wire should be connected to a good ground source and if the tachometer is not properly grounded then you will get a primary voltage shock from the ignition coil every time that you touch something metal inside of the vehicle. Let me know if you require any further assistance.

How many o2 sensors do I have on a 1993 gmc seirra

I believe the 93 Sierra has only one O2 sensor. It is in the manifold on the drivers side. This assumes the 5.7L motor.

Hi, if the extra wire goes to the alternator, then yes, it goes on the big post along with the battery wire. This is your charge wire. Please let me know if you have more questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Tachometer on 93 subaru not working?

The most common reason for the failure of tachometer on 93 Subaru Legacy is related to the connection of ground wire. Ensure that the ground wire has not become faulty because of wear or corrosion. In case the wire is not functional, it will need to be replaced without which the tachometer circuit will not be complete.

I hooked up the starter to my 93' gmc seirra and it just makes a noise like it is blowing air... did i hook it up wrong?? can u show me a diagram of how to hook it up?

Did you get the right starter,just because it look the same does not mean it is the same.These starters come with different drives for different engines.Make sure you have the right one for your truck.Two bolts and two wires did you put the small wire on the wrong small terminal,I bet you did.Switch the small wire to the other terminal,the atarter is turning but the drive is not going into the flywheel.
