It does any of the above on any given day. It also chooses to work fine most of the time.

Any thoughts on what I can look at?
Mine does the same from time to time. Like with your experience, it happened all of a sudden.

From what I have read, cleaning the ground points in the engine bay and cleaning/replacing the ignitor (as it controls the tach signal to the coil) usually help. In my case they haven't.

I have yet to pull the cluster out to check behind.

I am also interested in other people's experiences as the two commonly suggested methods I listed above have not resulted in any positive results to date for myself (but may work for you, so it's still worth looking into).
