Hello and let me first say THANK YOU!!! for your work and dedication to this forum. I have learned SO MUCH from you over the past few years.
I recently purchased a 1995 sidekick JX, 4dr, 16v, 4x4, manual trans. I bought it as a non-runner that someone had already been working on. The car overheated so they did head job, timing belt, water pump, and radiator. They just couldn't get it to run afterwards. I hate assuming ANYTHING!!..
so I checked the basics. 1. Good motor (good compression, timing,valve lash) 2. good spark 3. No injector pulse. Noticed tach dead? (no twitch at all upon cranking)
SO. am I reading your guidelines right that the tach HAS to work? and if so
how to check?
Thanks so much,
jjgolf
