not to sure what it does, or how it works, but if it it's not working properly, it can cause the Tacho not to work.
I believe dstocks can get them $50 I think?

If it's the IFS, then it is to about here..

Excuse the horrid picture, it should be bolted to the engine, with a wiring loom connected to it.

If your ignition sensor has failed your car won't start?

Dead tacho is usually the IFS. It has happened to quite a few people here now, including me. The car started without any dramas for 2 years before I changed it over.
