$100 to make my VI work

Already took it to a mechanic, it just appears that for some reason or another, the harlan RPM switch isn't going off or giving any signal that it detects the right RPM from the engine. Since I didn't really participate with the installation at all I really wouldn't know where to start or how to troubleshoot since I don't have the tools or know exactly how the wiring was done. Its been nearly 6 months since I've ordered my VI and i'm just fed up with not having this thing working in my car. If you can meet up with me and get my VI in working condition then I'll pay you $100. I'm in the Tucson area but I am willing to go up to phoenix if nescessary.

Re: $100 to make my VI work

I don't know how comfortable you are with working on your car, but setting up the Harlan is straight forward. I would pull the rpm input from one of the coil packs and the other lines to the Harlan are self-explanatory. Just setup the harlan first and once you verify that is working, build the rest of the vacuum system around it.

I know search is down... basically, choose any of the coil packs and tap into the striped wire (not the black nor the red one). Set the Harlan for single coil mode and hook up power and ground to it. You do not need to hook up the switch ground just yet as the LED will light up when the Harlan activates. Set the Harlan per the written instructions.
