Broken Tach

The tachometer in a 1993 RX7 R1 that i am looking at does not work. Any problems with these in the past? any connections i should look at?

bump/ more of a explination. When you start the car, the tach is all over place, and it will then stay all the way at 9 and then bounce some more and then stick around 3. The engine just stays at idle the whole time though. WHAT IS THIS?

i know nothing about 3rd gens, but on first gens, the tach runs off the trailing ignitor and thats usually the cause of the tach not working at all.
