Tach doesn't move at all or reads wrong? You do know that you have to set the tach for 4 cyl engine with 0411 tach output. And you more than likely will need the pull up resistor. What value resistor did you use and how is it wired in?

Tach doesn't move at all. 1000 Ohm resistor wired from the tach 12v to the signal input. on the tach lead from the pcm without the pull up resistor it reads 6.3 volts all the time regardless of rpm.

You can't really check the PCM tach output with a meter. You need something that will display a frequency signal like a scope.
