I have a 97 cavalier which im installing an audiovox aps996  remote start/alarm paging system.  I have it all hooked up except for the tach wire and park/neutral safety wire.  I was wondering if anyone could tell me where these wires are and what color they might be or if i even need to hook the neutral safety  wire up at all for it to start?.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks
