tach wire, hmm, i,m scared

You're welcome, Mike. And yes, I remember the days of wanting to do something to my car (or anything really), but having nowhere to go for any meaningful information. Also, I thought of something. I haven't installed a Galaxy before, but there must be an adjustment for cranking time. My experience on Nissans: 0.8 seconds makes for a perfect crank, although it's not always quite enough in the cold. 1.0 seconds has a very, very slight overcrank that you can hardly even notice, and should work well in the cold. Before hooking up the tach wire, try seeing what your crank time is set at, and see if that helps.

Ive been through the manual that came with the R.S ( or what they call a manual. about oh, ONE page long. some wire colors and thier function and a short paragraph on programing) dont see anything on setting parameters for crank time. Does have mention of purchasing an optional P.C interface and software for expanded feature. thats prolly where its at, unless there is a secret trick known to only a secret sect of instsallers with grey beards who live at the top of a mountain I dont think I could change it. that would be nice though. Thanks again for the help, Mike

I don't think ScyTek products have crank time adjustments, either manually or through the ScyTek Wizard. Tach mode should work fine for you though, as I don't believe ScyTek supports over-rev either.Ideal - cmon dude, add to topics in a useful manner, not stuff that is obvious.

Story - Phzzzt! Hey, what happened?! ... Isn't it obvious?

Moral - Never dismiss the obvious.
