i dont have one but i really should buy one. just wondering if anyone on here has done one before.

Don't buy a haynes manual for electrical. The manual will not show anything for wiring. Go to your local dealer and ask for pcm wiring. I think the tach pickup is pin 87. Also you are going to need a tach adapter to install between the tach wire and computer. Depending on where you go, its abut 75 to 100 dollars.

Passenger side of car locate the power distribution box.
Unsnap top half of Power distribution box. Find under the GREEN box port C5. (2 larger solid red wires coming out of same port). Do not use smaller solid red wires.

(Do Not use F6).
Follow wires out a few inches and cut both. Twist together the 2 RED wires coming out of the power distribution box then hook them to the RED wire coming from the 9117 tach adapter.
Then twist the remaining 2 RED wire ends from the wire harness together and hook them to the RED w/Green stripe wire from the 9117 tach adapter.
The GRAY wire from the 9117 tach adapter hooks to the GREEN wire on the 5310 RPM Module.

The RED wire from the 5310 rpm module goes to power.
The BLACK wire from the 5310 rpm module goes to ground.
The Green wire hooked to the GRAY wire on the tack adapter.(tach signal).
Plug in 5331 lite to the RPM Module.
