How is tachometer related to speed of vehicle?

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.

I have no spark on my 1999 Pontiac Montana could you tell me what could be the cause?

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.
