The tach wire is BLACK/ WHITE at the ECM. On the 6 cylinder models, it is in the 2nd plug from the bottom, pin 1. On the 8 cylinder models, it is in the bottom plug, pin 5.
On the 6 cylinder models, you can also find this wire at the data link connector under the driver side dash.
The Hilux (Surf) is a 4Runner in North America.

Yes it should be the same. If you can't find the wire at the ECM use an injector wire instead.

I think the Hilux is like the old style Tacoma. Look for a light GREEN/ black at the data link connector under the dash. If it doesn't have one it should be at the instrument cluster....

you need to tap into the red wire with a white trace as your ignition pulse.
