Usually when you see the tach acting up like this its a sign of misfiring which is caused by either coil or ignitor.

I have just noticed this on my civic as well. But it happens between 5-7k and I don't feel or hear any misfiring. Is there a way to check the above mentioned coils and ignitors myself?
