Tach sensor

There is no tach sensor. There is a crankshaft position sensor
that gives the PCM information to fire the plugs (ignition), and
fuel injectors. The tach signal is also generated from the PCM.

A tan/yellow wire is the wire for the tach, I bet it already wired for it.

It should run from the PCM to the instrument cluster.
