Hi q,
No information in your post or in your profile about what YEAR you're car is.
Knowing that would be help and a start since we'd then at least know if it's a mechanical or electronic tachometer.
Regards,
Alan

In most cases the issue you describe tends to be a failure in the tach board. Removal on your car is easy and testing is even easier.

Very easy to replace the board.
Same thing happened to my wife's 79 few yrs ago. Used Wilcox's trouble shooting guide and bought a new board from Wilcox. Came in a few days and I had it fixed in about 25mins.
