HELP! Need to know where to tap for RPM - for MSI switch (MEVI install)

If anyone can help me out, I sure would appreciate it.... I need to know which wire would inform the MSI switch of the engine RPM so that my MEVI actuates / switches.

Wait, is it the green and white wire off the harness or the green one? The picture says green, and the people have said green and white. Is it green for a 97 and green and white for a 96?

Thanks again

It will be some combination of green and white. I believe mine was white with a little green stripe, and I'm a '95...but I'm not sure about 96's.

Uh.. its definately white and green then? Does anyone think its solid green? Sorry but Im not totally clear.

I havent messed around with the harness and tried to find the wire coming out of pin 5, Im not sure but I think that would be difficult to do, (im thinking) would it be easier to get a definate answer on the wire and just tap into it... Agh, well probably will get there eventually. Thanks all who are helping out. Anyone do this with a 96?

**EDIT**
It really sounds like a white wire with green stripe... WOOT! Thanks again everyone
