Did you check the sending sensor? If you changed the tack and it still does not work, it may not be the tack. Wires connected and good? I think the sensor picks up a signal from the cam and that may have come off or lost it's juice. Have the sensor checked. I really wonder why we need tachometers anyway if we are not racing? With automatic transmissions doing all the work now, or get use to the speedometer when using a manual transmission, a tack is just another space filler on the dash. I use one in my older Corvette to keep from over revving the motor or lugging it when in heavy traffic and slow down, other that that, I just use my rear view mirror looking for red lights.
