mine stoped working because the wires from the dizzy had broken, these wires send the signal the the cluster so check the wires from the distributer and the igniter, make sure its all pluged in and not damaged

Your RPM signal out from your ECU could possibly be fried. I have had that in the past caused by dodgy wiring.

Sounds to me like it still has the CA18 cluster and has not had the modification done to allow it to see the SR motor... gimme a min and ill dig it up

1.) Take off plastic on steering column (5 screws on the bottom. Be sure to get the one behind the steering height adjustment lever.)

2.) Undo the 4-5 screws at the front of the plastic peice under your knees - hint: the platic peice im talking about has the bonnet release mounted to it. Only undo the screws at the front. This reveals several screws behind it.

3.) Pull out the 4 buttons on - lets call it plastic peice "X". This is the peice that has the hazard, fog light, rear wiper/blank, and rear demister switches mounted to it. Once you have pulled the switches out, disconnect them at the back.

4.) Undo all the screws holding "X" on. These are the 2-3 on the bottom now revealed, and the two up the very top above your instrument cluster.

5.) Now pull "X" out all together. Disconnect any further switches if necessary. Pulling "X" out is quite tricky because there is little space to maneuver so be patient removing it.

6.) Finally - the instrument cluster. Three screws hold it in place - 2 down the bottom and one dead in the middle up the top. Again, use caution pulling this out. Same deal as before - there is very little space to maneuver so pulling it out takes patience.

You will be wanting to find the IGN and TAM points on the backside of the cluster. This is where you will want to add the resistor, just like pictured below.

You need a 10k .25mw resistor.
