behind the cluster in the dash there is a wire to where the tach would be if you didnt have a DX. I can't remember what color it is... get a hanes guide or manual and look in the diagrams for the RPM sensor. Also, there is a wire in the engine bay on the right side near firewall that is a diagnostics wire for the RPM sensor, you can use it as well.
