Fitted the same tahco as i have in the Traveller wired the same way into the saloon.....When i try to start the engine for the first time it wont start dosent seem like theres a spark....dissconnect the tacho wires to coil and it will start no problem, reconnect them still runs...switch off and restart and it fires up no problem :-? Why wont it fire up for the first time!!??

Cheers Tim
