Default 98 coupe tachometer jumping????? VIDEO INSIDE

ok so heres the situation. i have a 98 coube with a b16a2 swapped in it on a p72 ecu and i have an 02 sensor code. When im giving the car throttle my tach jumps around like silly.This happens whether its in gear or in neutral. I dont feel it affecting the car all the time only when im in higher rpms and the car will hesitate a little and fall off. i have a vid i will try to attatch. any help is appreciated.

The tach signal comes from the igniter unit inside the distributor. It may be bad so have it tested.

Test the blue tach wire running between the igniter unit and tach. Are all wires inside the distributor clean and tight?
