Thanks Jeff for the info. Sorry for all these silly questions but I want to make sure I dont fry something. Can you please explain what you mean by unccommon color and will I still need a tach adaptor? Thanks to all who reply.

Go to the injector closest to the front of the vehicle on the drivers side. It will have a red wire and a tan or brown wire. You want the tan or brown wire. No tach adapter needed.
