Sounds like you messed up your tach, is it from the same year of car?

Also, this is the meet and greet section, where you're supposed to introduce yourself. I'll move this to the general miata section.

Sounds like a non issue. Car runs, drive car.

Maybe, replace car.

Well you fucked up somewhere along the lines chief. When was the last time the tach worked? And what was the last thing you did to the car before you fucked it up?

I feel like using **** a lot today. Why? Who ******* cares.

It's probably your coil packs, replace those and see what it does. I don't think tachs just "go bad" that often.

im curious how said shop "tested" your coil packs? your issue is obviously not with them providing spark, but rather providing feedback to the tach.

I don't think any shop would be able to test that.
