I need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im having a custom window switch made for my 2002 gt because I am running nitrous.
Read this and tell me what you think
As long as your vehicle has a pulse type engine speed signal our
RWS/ARWS module will work fine with it. The signal can be ether a 0V to 5V
signal from an engine computer or a 0 to 12V from one of your coils.
But in order to program your module for you, we will need to know how many
pulses per crankshaft revolution your signal has.
If yours is a single coil type ignition system; it will pulse half the
engine's cylinders each crankshaft revolution, in other words with a V8 you
would get four pulses per revolution, with a 6 cylinder you would get 3
pulses, and etcetera.
Most multi-coil systems have an engine speed wire (for use with tachometers
and other vehicle modules) that still uses this convention. The GM's
LS1/LS2/LS6 and Vortec engines are an exception, they do have an engine
speed wire but it only outputs two pulses per revolution (like a 4 cylinder)
even though they are an 8 cylinder. In these cases just tell us the number
of cylinders you have, and also if it happens to be a GM LSx or Vortec
engine.
Some muli-coil systems don't have any engine speed signal wire and will
require that you use the signal going to one of your coils. If this is the
case you will need to order a module set up for a 1 cylinder (if you have
one coil per cylinder, AKA coil on plug) or 2 cylinder (if you have one coil
for every two cylinders, AKA wasted spark).

he is obviously confused and is asking what we make of it.

Usually when someone needs help, they actually have a question. But thanks for wasting a minute of our time reading your pointless post, filled with rediculous ramblings. What a waste of space.

To the op: Our cars have a wire coming from the ECU that sends a signial to a single coil (acutally has 8). You will want to order the module with a tach input that is setup for "one cylinder" mode, or a mode where it fires one time for each time the sparkplug fires in a single cylinder.
I have the raptor shift light, and this is how it works, you have to set it to "one cylinder" mode so that it takes each pulse as a single count of a 4 stroke firing its sparkplug.
