if the tach output quits when hot, i'd say the igniter's just about to
fail. change it immediately - you don't want to be stranded in the
middle of a busy freeway intersection. trust me on that one.

otoh, it could just be a bad tach connector in the cluster. the
instrument circuit board is just a flimsy piece of plastic. sometimes
disassembly, cleaning & reassembly cleans the connections sufficiently
to make everything right again.
