No. I say it is impossible to do mechanical damage to an engine by wiring up a tacho.

The dash lights didn't work even when Chris had the car .... PM me with some more details of any problems, i know your car pretty well. Does it still have the spool ?

Detonation (pinging) sensor, it's screwed into the block under the inlet manifold. Retards timing by 6 degrees if it senses pinging, or if it is disconnected - no it won't stop the car from starting

You need the VL work book to give you a idea what those error codes are telling you.
