1. Did you check the ECU for any error codes?
2. Does your Check Engine light come one when this happens? If it does, then definitely check the ECU for an error code.

- The problem with the "dancing tach needle" is that it can't always be re-produced easily. Mine was random but it almost always seem to happen when the engine was under load and the RPM was between 3500 and 4000.
- The igniter is located inside the distributor itself. You will have to remove the ignition module/coil first in order to gain access to it:

- You lose me when you say "when it bounces or dance the car would not shut off it would give me a little push". Are you saying that the engine doesn't shut down when you turn it off? Sort of like dieseling?
