I replaced the ignition coil and igniter unit of my car about a month ago and now I have noticed that my tachometer bounces erratically when I accelerate and when the rpms go above 2500. I'm not sure if the replacement and the tach are related but I'm wondering what could be the cause and if I should be concerned.

Hi realpoome,

The tachometer gets its signal from the ignition coil. Check for loose connection at the distributor.
