The original shown in this thread from years ago was made by Bob Myers “Techguy512”. It’s my understanding he passed on in 2015. Math, it looks like your MB Electronics Upgrades amp is damaged. I think the program memory is corrupted and it gets stuck in the loop that generates the needle sweep. The only other explanation is it could be kicked into some diagnostic mode or it’s pickup circuit is receiving high frequency noise.

I did replace the capacitors on the tachometer thinking they were gone. the pickup sensor/cable is brand new reading 71 ohms. |

Yeah I don’t know. It isn’t my design. I’m not sure what is going on. Sounds like you have power and a good sensor.
Maybe you should oscilloscope probe the board at PIN 3 the output and PIN 9 to see if you have a solid input and output signal. The input should be the crank signal and the output should be a square wave. Both should be roughly 14Hz at idle. Somebody else had this issue with his board. See my post #137 above. Same problem. Exactly the same. That’s why I suspect corrupted program memory. Pinned at 5000. I suspect the problem is related.

It's being sent to a friend who can put the tach amp into his car to see if it work with his tach, and then put the tach in to see if it works with his amp Narrowing down the problem. I'll know more next week. |

That sounds like a solid plan.

Just dropped an '83TD engine & tranny into my '85TD
I should be able to get the tach working... I've bypassed the EGR inside the kick-panel and the tach was working working on '83. I'm going to pull the tach relay out of the '83 and stick it in the '85 in a couple of days. Are there any more 'revised' tach amps/relays available? thanks dennis

Dennis - into clear if you really need an amp. If you have the EGR signal and it’s live you can just run it to the 85 gauge which is basically the bypass people do here. No amp required.
