It depends on the tachometer. Some tachometers operate off the ignition unit and others get their trigger from the coil. Also, since a Harley fires both plugs at the same time and every time the pistons come to top center. Therefore, the tachometer must be set up for this, just like for a two stroke engine or you'll get a erronous reading. Any tachometer that you buy should have wiring instructions with it.

I hope this helps
Good Luck
Steve

Where can i find the rpm sensor on a 2001 ford ranger

There is no tach - rpm sensor . This information comes from the PCM - engine computer .
Tachometer
The tachometer is a 6,000 rpm tachometer. It has four terminals labeled "B" (12 to 14.5V), "S" (EDIS tach signal in), and two "G" (cylinder selection grounds). The top ground (G) terminal is open on a 4-cylinder engine vehicle, and is grounded on a 6-cylinder engine vehicle.

  • The tachometer is inoperative
  • Powertrain control module (PCM).
  • Circuitry.
  • Tachometer.
  • Instrument cluster printed circuit.
  • Go To Pinpoint Test F .
  • Incorrect tachometer indication
  • Circuitry.
  • Instrument cluster printed circuit.
  • Tachometer.
  • Go To Pinpoint Test G .

Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster C220c pin 8, circuit 398 (BK/YE), harness side and ground.
  • Is the resistance less than 5 ohms?
Yes GO to G2 .

No REPAIR the circuit. TEST the system for normal operation.
Measure the resistance between the tachometer and the instrument cluster printed circuit terminals; refer to the following chart:
    Instrument Cluster Printed Circuit Terminal Tachometer Terminal C220a pin 13 C220a pin 15 S C220b pin 2 G C220c pin 8 G (6 CYL.)

  • Are the resistances less than 5 ohms?
Yes GO to G3 .

No INSTALL a new instrument cluster printed circuit. REFER to Instrument Cluster Printed Circuit in this section. TEST the system for normal operation. G3 CHECK FOR CLEAN TACH OUT (CTO) CIRCUIT OPEN OR SHORT Check for CTO circuit open or short. Refer to Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
  • Is the CTO circuit OK?
Yes INSTALL a new tachometer. REFER to Gauges in this section. TEST the system for normal operation.

No GO to G4 .
G4 CHECK FOR CORRECT PCM OPERATION Disconnect all PCM connectors. Check for:
  • corrosion
  • pushed-out pins
Connect all PCM connectors and make sure they seat correctly. Operate the system and verify the concern is still present.
  • Is the concern still present?
Yes INSTALL a new PCM. REFER to Section 303-14 . CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the PCM self-test.

No The system is operating correctly at this time. Concern may have been caused by a loose or corroded connector. CLEAR the DTCs. REPEAT the self-test.
Your best bet mite be to take it to a qualified repair shop.

When i turn my calculator on it says "RAM cleared". It is then very slow . . . what is wrong and how can I fix it?

Hi yeager anna,

Since the calculator operates slowly even after the RAM has been cleared, I'd say, "Your OS must be corrupt." You need to re-install the Ti 84 Plus OS, ASAP!!! You can fix this problem by installing the newest Ti 84 Plus 2.55v. MP OS, operating system. Use fresh batteries when installing the new OS. If you need additional instructions your welcome to read my Ti 84 Plus solutions. I pretty much tell how you can install the new OS with another Ti 84 Plus calculator or, connecting the computer to the calculator to install the new OS. You can view my solution to install OS by clicking, "Ti 84 Plus OS installation." Just stroll down to oneplusgh's solution at that posting and, I cover a lot of topics you may need advice on to install the new OS.

If you need instructions to downloading and installing TI Connect on a XP or, Mac computer click, "TI Connect on a XP or Mac computer." I realize this posting was for a later OS but, this link will take you to the latest TI Connect software and, newest OS too. Once you get the TI Connect software installed come back to this posting and, follow the instructions above at "Ti 84 Plus OS installation."

If you need instructions to downloading and installing TI Connect on a Windows 7 computer click, "TI Connect on a Windows 7 computer." Just follow Procedure 3. You can also get instructions at this link on how to install the Ti driver to link computer and calculator. I realize this link instructions were for a Ti 89 calculator but, they will work for a Ti 84 Plus too. Once you get the TI Connect software installed come back to this posting and, follow the instructions above at "Ti 84 Plus OS installation."

My instructions is geared to save you a lot of hardship. No matter if your having to install Ti Connect or, the newest OS for your calculator. I do not use TI OSDownloader because, TI OSDownloader might not give you the newest OS for your calculator. My instructions will. If you have any questions just post a comment and, I'll respond quickly.

Rpm needle flutuates when driving

If it is an aftermarket tachometer then you may have to install the resistor that came with it. If it didn't come with a resistor ask an auto-electrician about it, they should know. If it is a factory tachometer you may also be able to try and install the resistor onto coil wire at the back of the tachometer. if you haven't got experience in this area i would suggest you find someone who does.
