take thw top off the SMALL wiring harness plug. Its the top right wire as your looking to the rear of the car from the front. OH and to save some time you have to cut the signal wire and hook one wire to one end and the othe to the other end. Took forever to figure that out.

when u take the kick panel off in the interior on the passenger side, unbolt the ECU, its pin 48 on the ecu, which is an orange/white wire, you can basically just stick the wire from the tach on the back side of the wiring harness and secure it there. then bolt the ecu back in. (PS unplug ur battery and let is sit a few minutes, u dont wanna short your ecu somehow)
