wellllll it all depends on the colors of the wires in that plug!!!

they have oil sensor plugs, they have alarm plugs, they have systems tach plugs, but USUALLY the extra wires for a tach are not in a plug!! they are a loose purple a loose grey and a loose black. at least the last four controls i have had were like that.....although they did have the big 8 pin systems check tach plug as well!!
