Won't Crank or Click
I have a 1996 Mazda B2300 & I heard that it is similar to the Ford Ranger.
Well the thing won't crank or start.
This is what I have done so far. I wanted to put a RPM meter on it. I followed YouTube videos on how to do it. I cut the Tan wire w. the yellow stripes & try to connect the wire to thr RPM meter. Then it won't start soo idk what to do. I also took put the PCM too. (Sorry I was looking for the wire) Now be honest, I talked to a mechanic, he said thag I might have blown my PCM or Blown another fuse. But when i put the key in to crank, it won't start ot click at all. The lights come on & it wants to start but won't start.
Then my mechanic tried to start it by the... Idk what it is called but you can start it & it wont evet start. It will crank like crazy but will not start at all.
Please help me guys!

Welcome to FTE.
Sounds like you might have killed spark, so have you used your inductive timing light to confirm spark is missing?
We don't know what tan wire you cut, or other wiring mods you've made in trying to connect the tach but here is a link you can use to look up wiring pictorials on your vehicle to locate the tach lead & maybe wake this puppy up again. Search Wiring Diagrams
