As long as you got the correct pin from the PCM for the tach input signal & a good solid ground & power it should work.

If its coming on & flashing back your setting then you have good power & ground, but had to have spliced into the incorrect tach input wire. There is no other reason for it not to work, unless it was messed up when purchased.
