Re: RPM / Tachometer freaking out

BUT.... My problem now is that my truck is stalling and the tach is freaking out. This morning I pulled out of the garage and it stalled in the drive way. Started and it stalled again in the road. Started again the tach shot to 2K then droped, I got to the stop sign and it stalled one more time. I was thinking I was going to have to turn around and get my other truck, but it stayed steady after that... I get almost to where I am going and I am approaching a red light, I notice that my tach is jumping all over the place from 0 (almost stalling) to just about 3K (damn), I pull up to the red light and the tach continues to go nuts, I keep it running by giving it a little gas at 0 so it does not stall out.

Anyone have any ideas as to what this could be caused by, or what may fix it?

I would get a engine capable scanner on it and check out rpm readings in scanner.
post back any codes.
Any check engine lights ?
