You have a fault. The fault will be random. You will need to break out the wiring diagram and the multimeter, and start fault finding. It's a manual exercise.

Cheers  mate I've just checked every think with muiltmeter. grounds and ign all have what they should but the white and red wire for ign on the black pug its 3.6v is that normal I thought it might be for the light

Well, the tacho is either working and there is just no signal to it, or the gauge itself has a problem. If the latter....god knows what to do. If the former, then you need to a) prove continuity to the appropriate ECU pin and then b) possibly hook up an oscilloscope at the dash end of the wire to see if the signal is present.

The temp gauge is kinda the same just without the oscillosope, you're more looking to see if the resistance of the sensor measures the same at both ends of the wire.

And as for the alt light....that would seem to be a wiring problem. Which may or may not be common with the other problems.

Thank you so much for the help I go and try all that and see how I get on.  I thought it might all be because it's a 20det loom in a 25de body. I have tryed 2 clusters it's all the same. But I will give it a Crack im not to keen on have aftermarket rev and temp gaues

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
