Don't why I'm bothering to help you, as my last attempt to do so resulted in a dumb email :no: which I think you should apologise for :)
However just in case the mr2dc :roflmao: can't help you:

Tacho signal comes from the igniter on the RHS of the engine bay, green plug, pin 2, a black wire.
It's also available on the service connector in the engine bay (just to the LHS side of the throttle body) pin 18 ( marked IG) also a black wire.
:cool:
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
