You should put your year/model in your signature so we know what car you are talking about. I looked at your last post and I am guessing that you are talking about a 90 accord.

The tachometer signal is generated by the ignition control module (ICM). It is inside of the distributor under the distributor cap. Check that the 4 wires going to it are clean and secure,

Just to reinforce the year/model/engine thing...

1995-1997 V6 tach signal is generated by the COIL.

1998 & up tach signal is generated by the ECU.

Thats why we need to know what car you have.
