so get another tach?

I dunno what to tell you, but I feel like this is going nowhere.

We can't help you if you can't tell us coherently what is wrong, what kinda troubleshooting you did, and what the results of said troubleshooting were. I don't even follow what you're trying to say in your posts, and I'm genuinely trying to help you.

Good luck.

if you smell unburnt fuel. And your tach signal is erroneous. It seems fairly obvious you have a bad coil pack.

Vlad, from my deciphering, I believe he already replaced the tach.

OP, look in the for sale section for used coil packs, or look on ebay.

Dudes. 95.5+ have the tach driven from the ecu. The change corresponded with the change between 4 pin coils and 3 pin coils. If you have 3 pin coils the tach its driven by the ecu, if you have 4 pin coils the coils drive the tach.

it's not the CAS. that sends the cam position back to the ECU in order to run the car. If the engine is running, the cas is working.

the ECU interperts the CAS readings and sends a tach signal out to the dash.
