The tach on my 95 gt intermittently just drops to 0 or reads erratic.. Is this from the distributor or the ignition module or neither?? Car will also at times turn over for ever and not start and then i cycle the key and it will start.. Anyone had this problem and if so whats a good place to start? Dont know if both problems are tied in together.....

Last time my tach was messing up badly. Bad distributor. Good luck. Sounds like a bad PIP inside the distributor.

Yup, bad dizzy. Make sure and buy this one right here: Buy Richporter Distributor FD22 at Advance Auto Parts

Anything else is junk.
