    it comes off the negative side of the coil, cant remember the colour, just keep taking wires one at a time till your car runs but with no tacho

    In the engine bay the tacho wire is black with reds spots on it. It runs from the passenger strut tower back through the firewall. It passes through a small white plug in the passenger footwell.

    I'm afraid I can't remember more, however I think there are three wires in the small white plug.

    I'm sure you cant use the tacho directly into the ecu on this setup.. you will have to do what gze people do and change resistors and such in the cluster first before you hook-up the tacho wire to the ecu pin out otherwise people have said that it stuffs up your coils.

    The wire out of the computer will not drive the factory tacho dash. You need a tacho converter (search for "tacho tech" on toymods, or tacho converter or coil negative emulator).
