The tach wire will have both AC and DC current on it when the car is running. Use the AC setting to determine if is a tack wire or not. This wire will read a very low voltage at idle, but will increase dramatically when the engine is revved. Commonly, a tach wire will go from a half a volt up to 3 or 4 volts. More is possible.
