95 sentra tachometer install Sign In

I just bought a tach for my 95 sentra, because my sentra didn’t come with one. Now keep in mind I’m not very mechanically inclined but I thought I would give it a try. The problem is the stupid green wire. I have to connect it to the distributor cap but I can't figure out which wire to connect it to. I've spent hours searching for and studying wire diagrams, and I still can’t figure it out. There are three wires that go from the distributor to the ECM. I thought the blue wire was the right one but when connected to the tach, the tach only goes up to 2000 rpm then goes back to 0.

Any help would be great. Thanks

95 nissan sentra
1.6L / 5 speed

NOTE: The ignition coil is built into the distributor.

 Diesel engines pull the tach off of the alternator. This also holds true for gas engines. If you don't have a tachometer wire coming off of the PCM, you may have to go this route.
