1.black wire is ground
2. green wire is tach signal
3. red is 12 volt power where did you guys put that at?

It sounds like you've got the hang of it. For detailed info, go to http://www.autometer.com and find your specific tach.

 

white goes to parking lights under the dash.

 

red is 12 volt power where did you guys put that at?

i have instuctions with it but not for a crx i am trying to get opinions on where to hook the red wire and if that does not work i am sending it back

 

12 volt constant can be picked up from the white/blue wire in your stereo harness amongst many other spots.
http://www.the12volt.com for your cars wiring information.

 

i fixed my tach today it was a bad ground.

 

Have you downloaded the instructions from the AutoMeter site? The Tach signal connects to the distributor BLUE connector wire. Make sure that you connect power (red?) to a switched circuit in the fuse panel. The other wire (white?) goes to the lighting circuit I think. Black is generally ground and you can connect it to the chassis.
