It will give u horrible gas milage yes, but it shouldn't make the tach bounce. That sounds more like your ignitor. What year engine/car u have and when the tach spikes does the car missfire and run bad?

distributor (coil or ignitor), faulty ground wires, bad ignition switch, bad joints in main relay, poor connection on battery connections, bad electrical connection in harness.
