hi try replacing the coil in the distrubuter as this is what controls the rev counter

Before pouring money and trying to shoot with closed eyes, I would start with basic.

Check your spark plug wires: how do they look, is there any visible cracks?

How old your spark plugs, distributor cap?

See if this thread is the same as your problem, you didn't say what year and engine you have.

Third post down I think gives the solution if you have the 95-97 with V6.
