[MR2] 88sc No Start - Code 12 - WTB: 4agze igniter

[Kevin Parker]

My understanding is that the tach is run off of the pickups in the
distributor. I don't have a BGB for the 1st gen anymore, but that's how I
remember it.

I'll swap out the coil wire and take a look at the distributor.

Something I forgot to add, the tach does not move while cranking.  It
is my understanding that the tach is driven of a signal from the
igniter.  Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Thanks
