From what I've heard and seen in the HELMS, the pickup is a blue wire that is right behind the driver's headlight assembly, where the optional foglight harness is. That is the tach pickup for under-hood diagnostics. It is taped down most likely and covered with a little boot, that you need to remove then tap into it.

You have to tap into your ECU. Our car dosent have a distrubutor. Instead, the whole car runs of the ECU. Honda uses the cranksensor for these cars, which is a blue wire that is coming out of the Ecu. You can locate this under the hood. On the left side headlight, there is a brown connector..there will be your blue wire. If confused contact me.
