It's on the front. It two wires going to it in a plastic sleeve. It's on the top of the crank pully where the fan belt go's.

 

How do I get to it?

 

I'm not going to hold your hand through all of this. Go look! I don't mind helping but come on.

 

I've gone and looked and it looks impossible to get to cause I can't even see where it goes but I'll try. Thanks for the info

 

look by the crank pulley. just like i said in my last post.

 

maybe one of you nice helpful posters should go over and give him a hand

4 pages of tech here already he gave a good effort.


tell you what farmboy drive up here to canada and ill set your pump up for you

 

Okay, I found it. It was just different from what i was think it would be. I thought it was inside the engine or something. But it just sits on the crank pulley?

 

Yes that is it.

 

Jimbo, you're a very good man, one of a rare breed. You salvaged this thread for newbies like me, haven't we all been newbies at one time.

Anyway to the OP (that's Original Poster), the reason you need to use a punch or whatever for the idle screw is it's impossible to use a wrench in there, unless your engine is out of the truck, and even then you have to use some tricks.

Also, if you'll be keeping your truck long and working on it, invest $30 in a FSM(that's Factory Service Manual).

Your truck also came with a 4-wire plug under the dash for the tach. I don't know if your tach is OEM or aftermarket or the plug is being used. If it's OEM chances are that it is plugged in under the dash. What kind of tach do you have?

 

I believe that I have the four plug wire, but nothing is plugged into it i dont think. I will have to go look again.

 

It's the original Tach

 

It kind of looks like the wires coming from the tach either run through the fuse box under the dash or are grounded. I don't see a plug that they would plug in to

 

also, Can a crank magnet stop working if it's dirty and if it gets budged just a tiny tiny bit?

 

How easy would it be for both of you to simply ignore any new posts in this thread? Very! I'm sure a lot of other members have bit there tongue and either left to view another thread or didn't even open this one. Try it sometime. You might notice a decrease in your level of "frustration." I'm sick of reading negative replies.

 

Yes,you need the gap to be set correctly. Too much gap and the pick-up will not read the position.

Also, thanks jimbo
