4Y Rev counter not working
Please help!
Where must I start looking for the problem, what's the color code of the rev counter wire or from where to where does the wires go. I'm close to start using alcohol or something.

Re: 4Y Rev counter not working
Not sure .... think it picks up the pulse from the coil. Might just be a loose wire.
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

Re: 4Y Rev counter not working
Havent worked on a 4Y in ages but if i remember correctly it has a 2 pin plug on the distributor - one is ignition feed in to the system and other is Revcounter output , cannot for the life of me remember if it picks up Revcounter signal from the Igntition module or directly from coil though but the signal gets generated at the dissy so best bet would be to start testing from their , ideally with an oscilloscope to see if you receive any kind of signal going out to the revcounter

Re: 4Y Rev counter not working
As far as I can recall there is a rev counter connection pipe that goes into the engine close to the spark plugs? I had that issues once after headgasket blew. and the guys forgot to attach this pipe.

Re: 4Y Rev counter not working
Ok the wiring for the Ignition(Black wire with red stripe) and the Revcounter(Black wire with red dots) will run just behind the battery towards the engine. Easy way to look is to id your watersensor on the head, look for the wire(sure the colour is yellow/green), this will run into the same harness as the ignition and rev counter harness.
