1997 tachometer problems

My tachometer shuts off for 10 to 30 seconds every minute or so until it warms up on my 1997 explorer 5.0. Any ideas out there for quick fix? Thanks ......

The 97 EVTM shows a "tachometer data link connector" under the hood/drivers side fender with tan wire/yellow stripe. Check that connection.
