Ok so i have aquired a tach and now i want to install. It has 4 wires green, white, black, and red. I know red is power and black is ground. What do the green and white wires do and where would i hook them up on a 3.1 mpfi?

Green is probably for the light, and white is the signal wire. Connect that to the ICM (6-pin connector) as shown below:

so where can i find the icmComment

The ICM is in the engine compartment and is the module that the coil packs sit on top of. So on a 91 Cutlass, it would be near the oil filter IIRC.-Brad-

Nope, Green is tach, white is light, congrats you almost blew up the tach.Comment

i havent tried anything yetComment

I'm sure reading the instructions would clarify the wire colors as well. But maybe that would make sense... And I haven't hooked up a tach in probably 15 years, so I was basically guessing (hence the "Green is probably").-Brad-

well after finding the online manual for the tach i found a wiring diagram. I am seeing the black=ground red=12v white=dimmer green=signalComment

Yup, the white C tach signal on the 6 pin connector.
I almost installed a tach in my car until I found a full gauge cluster for my car. Looks much nicer.sigpic

The 2 plugs are really 1. The pink is power and the white is the signal or negative side. Either plug can be used they are effectivly spliced once plugged into the coil.1993 EXT. CAB, 3.4L V6 TBI, 5spd manual. Sonoma
