Default My Prelude wont start (sometimes) and pudders when i hit the gas, and my RPM guage doesn't wo

I have a 92 Prelude H23A1 (DCsport Headers, DCSport short shifter, Stage2 Exedy Clutch, Cold Air Intake, MSD Blaster SS, SCI-L,and Spark Plug wires) and i was cleaning out wires from my deck that was not being uses and after i did all of that i tried to start my car and all it did was click so i stuck my hand under the dash board and messed with some wires and it acted like it was going to start and then finally turned over..... what wires or relay that has to do with the starter by the fuse box?
when my car started and i drove it off it started puddering... could that be the same wire or does it sound different???
my other problem is my RPM Guage??? My RPM guage was working before i got the whole MSD installed and they even tried a Tac Adapter.....and i went to another place and they said Honda's don't need a Tac Adapter.... so Im Kind of Lost on this... also sometimes it will work when it feels like it but its only like 1 day out of the month??

SOunds like its a simple fix. Bad connection somewhere. The Dizzy is what powers the RPm meter.

And why you bought a MSD igniton is beside me. Honda OEM ones are sutible.

by your intake box on the strut tower theres a tachometer test connector that has a blue wire running from the distributor all the way into the ICM (ignition control module) i would check to make sure that wire is connected
