Does it stop as if the needle is hitting something?  Like an obstruction 
somewhere in the works?  Or does it bounce around a little like that is 
all the signal it is getting?  If it is the latter, it might very
well be a problem with your ignition system. How does your car run
at higher rpm?

FWIW, I put in the Petronix electronic ignition conversion and loved it.
