A bad ignition coil can cause your 1987 Acura tachometer to quit working. A bad tachometer cable or ground wire can also cause it to quit working.
A tachometer that shows the wrong reading and get stuck sometimes could be caused by faulty wiring between the transmission and tachometer. It could be caused by a defective instrument cluster.
your ignition switch could be going bad, checkout http://acuravigorclub.com/Timely-Topics/ under archives..
mine slipped on the timing belt itself so check the timing first then work the fuses and then use a tachometer on the ignition coil if not it you might have a fried motor man
Green wire on the distributor is the tachometer pick up. Green wire on the distributor is the tachometer pick up.

Could be the tach is set for 6 cylinders?
The tachometer measures the number of revolutions the engine makes in a minute. This indirectly equates to the speed of the vehicle. Depending on the gear that the vehicle is in, you could determine speed with a tachometer. To determine your speed, you would need to know the gearing of the rear end as well as the circumference of the wheels.
A wire going to the battery broke off, when it was reconnected the gauges and lights on the gauges start working again, however the speedometer and the tachometer did not operate.
"One could find and see an Acura RL in person by visiting Acura dealerships, and used car lots to view a 2011 Acura RL, but the 2012 Acura RL has yet to be released."
There is no distributor on a 99, so there are a few sensors that can cause this. If you've had your intake replaced, or it is leaking, it could be the Cam sensor, which is located on the top of the engine, under the power steering pump, there is also a crank sensor (Is your tachometer working?) and lastly there is the ignition module which is located under the coil packs on the back of the engine.
I would say the mechanic didn't re-install the tachometer wire ,whereever it goes on this motor,which I don't know. I would say the mechanic didn't re-install the tachometer wire ,whereever it goes on this motor,which I don't know.
