Are you sure the tach is set for a 4-cylinder engine?

The correct wire to use is a blue wire near the driver's side fender close to the firewall. Try a search and see if you can find anything helpful.

here is the instructions on your tach... read everything it shows you how to hook it up and the tach signal on the gauge is the solid blue wired pictured above ..

and make sure the tach is set for 4 cylinders , instructions show you what to do..

that blue wire that H22a posted is a Closed wire! So you cant miss it, closed=theres a no place for it to plug into the engine harness.

Thanks for all your help it works just fine now.
When I bought the tach it didnt come with instructions, so i didnt know how to hook it up.
I also didnt clip the two wires in the back, so thats why it didnt work

Thanks
Kenny
