Funny, I had a tough time getting mine started today, it'd been sitting for
like a month. I forgot that I put my cold start on a manual bypass, duh.
Started unhappily, but still started, sounds like the opposite of yours eh?
Tach not working could be one of the small wires on the coil, (BL/R I

same on Motronic I'd bet, but check the Bentley to be sure, I suck at
remembering wire colours, I always have to check.
