the tachs in our cars are just finicky. That's all. Restart the car and usually it works. (I'm sure you figured this out.)

I have never experience a problem tach. Nor has anyone else I know who owns and FC. I think you just have a loose connection at your trailing coil.

I had the same problem.

Whenever I pulled the EGI fuse out, it would seem to pop up once.

BUT.....if I floor it instead of pulling the fuse, never a problem.
