Your tach gets the signal from the trailing coil. You need to verify that the coil is firing. Check the fuses under the dash. If the car starts and runs consider yourself lucky that you didn't fry any of the components like the ECU.

Do yourself a favour and wrap the + battery cable with red tape.

but what if your tach is intermitten, mine seems to go in and out but I never use it since the SAFCII has a tach and its more accurate. but it seems to turn off and on as it pleases, likes to go in and out over bumpy roads.
