Assuming the different engine options use the same distributor and cap combination, this is easy. Under the hood, look for the disttributor cap. on the upper left of it is a small black plug with two lead coming out of it. One is brown, and goes to a small capacitor just below the distributor cap. That is the + lead. You need to use the other wire, which is the solid black lead. This is the - lead. It is best to use one of those 2 wire splice terminals, rather than cutting this black lead. Attach the green lead from your tach to this, and you now have the signal that the gauge needs. Dont forget the red power lead, or the tach wont work. Good luck, this worked great for my Protach. (EDIT - I would just connect to the marked wire connection in the diagnostic plug, on the 1990 it's the plug (capped) on the drivers side strut tower. Just make sure you protect the wire from shorting out..)

How do you install a tachometer on a 1998 Toyota Corolla Gli 1.6 automatic?

There a a couple different ways. You can get the entire dashboard cluster with a tachometer from a 7th Gereration Corolla, 1988 to 1993... (1988 was the first Model year Corolla went to Front Wheel drive) or an 8th Generation (Model years 1994 to 2002) And a dash cluster/ gauge assembly after Model year after 2002 will not work. If you choose to do this it is very important to report what you have done because you have also changed the odometer, if left UNreported to the DMV in your state is 'tampering" and a Felony, and they will not listen to "I forgot" or I didn't know'. You must be sure the gauge cluster comes from a car with the same ECU you have, the tachometer is 'given' it's information from the ECU. Another option is an aftermarket tachometer you can mount anwhere you choose, but the tachometer must be hooked up to the ECM, that is the source of the rpm's. I can write out a step by step procedure to do that ...leave a message on my boardif you want or need that. David.hutchison.3139
