That list only is about 50% correct, I had to find the tach manually underneath the hood. Unplug your fuel injector plug, and look at the wire coming from the harness side, see all the colors of the rest of the injectors. The tach wire is the wire that is different from the rest meaning:

if all the injectors wires has red, then the plug that you want to use is the wire that is not red get it?

If you still confused lemme know. Another way is to use a volt meter. Tap it in the wire you think is the tach. Turn on the car and rev the motor, if the volt jumps up high then that is the wire.
