Try doing a connector check on all the ones on the rear of the cluster...... just wiggle them to tighten them up.

Bumping this thread. I am suffering from something very similar. Mine is dead until it warms up little and then seems to be good for the rest of the day.

A schematic would be very helpful. I've replaced the tach sensor twice, by-passed the 3-prong grey connector that sits near the alternator relay and pulled the dash cluster and cleaned the connectors. I'll try the connection at the transmission next and then I guess I'll have to try a new/used tach then a replacement cluster.

Maybe easier to do a ZF5 conversion at least then the tach will be downgraded from mandatory to just handy. Friggin electronics anyway.
