Hello,

I'm installing a remote start alarm system in my car.  It currently has a KARR alarm in it (along with the factory alarm).  I want to rip that piece of you-know-what out and put in my new alarm, but I want to make sure I know where all the wires for the new alarm are first. 

The car info database here says that my car's tach is located "AT COIL PACK."  I dont know where that is.  If anyone is familiar with this car, would you happen to know if that wire is accessible from inside the drivers side steering column?  I found a "WHITE/ BLUE" (database says "WHITE/ BLUE or WHITE" is my tach) wire (around 18 gauge) out of a huge black-taped wrap wire jungle that seemed to come from yet a smaller black taped wire jungle wrap that went into the firewall (it also seems to be going up to where the odometer/tachometer display is... but i am just guessing... its going in that general direction).  I looked on the outside of the firewall but saw nothing there, so i assume it didn't go THROUGH the firewall, but across to the passenger side where there is a large set of black-taped wires going through the firewall with a rubber plug around the sides (not actually sure if it goes here, but i could check if i ripped out the whole passenger side dash again... bleh).  Is there any easy way to test that wire with a DMM without having to splice it?  Would i test it as AC voltage?  My alarm has tachless mode, but i'd prefer to hook up the tach wire if its easily accessible.

I appreciate any help or feedback anyone can give me regarding this.  Thanks in advance!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but dont you just follow your spark plugs to the coil pack.  And if theres a distributor, folow the one wire not attached to the spark plugs back to the coil.

there is a wiring harness that is plugged into your distributor.

disconnect it, rip off the tape and go through the wires...there should be a white wire with a blue line on it....thats the one.
