what would cause this? also my tach is doing the thing again where it shuts off and the CE light comes on. its something to do with the trailing coil but i dont know where to start. last time it stopped when i added a ground. maybe ill add one to the coil itself now. any help is always appreciated

my tach did this. But mine would jump around and stay stuck in the 8 K rpm making that horible noise. I took out the traling coil took apart cleaned all the posible conections with sand paper and cleand the metal brackets where the coil mounts. I added a ground and boom the tack works and the car feels a hell lot stronger(Got to love mental horse power especially now that my tach works)

the speedo is driven off the tranny directly. your tach problem is prolly the same one you've had. try cleaning the mounting for the trailing coil, its a ground
