there is a brown wire connected to the tacho it has a brown box on the end which is the atmospheric pressue sensor.

This located on the firewall passemger side and just above main wiring loom, this is the wire you need to splice into, I know exactly what you need it for ;)

I found another way. I found a wire using a test light which only activated when the engine is on. So I connected it to the and it works =D it's a white with green line wire.
