Try any non common wire on any of the injectors.  For example, if you have 4 injectors with two wires each, and there is a common blue wire on each injector, it's not going to be that one.  You'll notice that the other wires are all different colors.  These will work as a tach signal.  These are read in AC voltage and vary from 1-7 volts AC.  Before you go splicing into it, get a cheap digital Voltage meter from Radio shack or a hardware store.  Ground the black cable from the meter on the vehicle and stick the red cable on a non common wire and move the throttle blade back and forth.  If the voltage goes up and down while on AC, you have your tach signal.
