Default tachometer bouncing around

I have a 95 EX v6 and it runs great but the tach is bouncing all over the place. It usually works fine but when I get up to like 50-60 it starts bouncing up and down until eventually it dies. It sits at zero until i shut the car off and then turn it on again. I have replaced the guage so I know that is not the problem,does anyone know what it is? thanks

It's your ignition coil like stated above. It is a very common problem with the V-6.
Buy it from hondaautomotiveparts.com; they have excellent prices.
