Under the drivers side dash, in the kick area find a pretty good sized blue plug. There will be a white wire. near a yellow, and a FAT black one. This is tach. 4 cyl. reading.

The tach wire should read anywhere between 1V and 6V AC. It might not go as high as 6V but as long as you're between those two, you should be OK. Make sure you turn you're DMM to Volts AC, as reading it DC won't do anything for you.
