i have spoken to the guy who sold methe tachometer and it all make sense now

the wire that goes to the coil is connected to a sensor which counts how many times the charge is buit then released and divides it by the number of cylinders you have to work out the revs.
each time the chare builds up then lets go that is 1 spark from 1 plug
the other wires are for power and switching on and off

yay
