You need to describe what's happening more. Does the tach needle flutter around? Is it always at 0? Have you checked the instrument cluster? (There are a few threads here about how some grounding contacts on the cluster need to be resoldered to get the tach needle working)

verify that the tach signal is working. plug in an OBDII scanner that has guages. and verify the tach signal is working. I keep a scanguage II installed that can show the Tach when the dash tach acts up
