I've been installing a tachometer in my protege for about a week now.
All the wires are hooked up to the car except the important one, the
one that reads the rpm from the engine. I'm nut exactly sure where to
find it, and i've tried about 3 different wires so far. The wire i'm on
now is giving me a weak reading, so i'm pretty sure it's the wrong one.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Head over to this site:
http://www.bulldogsecurity.com/wireing%20diagrams2.htm

They list the easiest places to grab inputs for alarm installation in
various cars; since remote starts need a tach sensor input to know when
the vehicle is started, they should list a convenient place to grab
tach signal in your Protege.

Good luck.
