Sounds like an intermittent in the green (fused ignition, 2nd fuse up in the
2- or 4-way fuse block). Check the connections and holders at the fuse
block, plus the many 4-way connectors in the circuit if *all* the ignition
circuits (like wipers, washers, heater fan, etc) are playing up, otherwise
it will be one of the many 4-way and multi-way connectors the voltage has to
go through before it reaches the tach.
