Default my tach is crazy again...

every time i get to about 4000 rpm's my tach starts to just jump up and down, there is no change in the engine, its just the needle and it seems to just happen for the first 10 or 20 minutes i drive the car, after that it goes away.... i had this problem before and all i did was changed the rotor and it went to normal.. but now what can it be??
Thanks

This is a sign of your ignitor going bad.

Cleaned my engine the other day and the same thing happened. Not only did the tach jump I also had a hesitation/miss at take off. Changed the igniter, all is well now.
