Default loosing tach signal

so every now and then my cars rpm jumps all over the place, even after replacing ICM, coil, cap, rotor.. what do u think it could be......is there anyother sensor that sends the tach signal to the ICM.....cause if it comes down to it im gonna replace the distributer and i dont wanna buy a part i dont need


BTW car is a 94 civic coupe with a d16z6
