Default Tach starts swaying at around 5k+

I just got my car to run right, but ive had this problem with my tach.. the car is a 93 ej1 w/obd2 B18c1.

Problem: When im driving, and get to around 5k rpms the needle on the tach starts swaying or floating. It keeps rising, but it sways so much i cant accurately determine my rpms past 5k. I already have the blue wire from the dizzy going to the blue wire by the brake reseviour (sp?). And this is the 2nd cluster ive had in the car. I replaced the ignitor about 100 miles ago.. any ideas?

And would this have anything to do with my VTEC not engaging?

Does your speedo work...maybe your VSS (vehicle speed sensor) needs to be checked?
