Tach Needle Bounes
I'd say between 2k-4k RPM my car's tachometer needle bounces and hops around real eradic like. I'm using the stock gauge cluster. I think it might only happen when it's cold too but I'm not exactly sure... I know it's just the tach and not the cars revolutions or anything, it's just getting a bad reading... Anyone got any links or anything to help me solve this problem?

ignitor or could just be a whacked up speedo cable... with my old cable the needle would jump until i got around 30 mph then it would stop and be fine... i drove around for over a year like that until i changed the cable out... never happened again
