	If your tach drops to 0 and your engine is still running, it has to, by
definition, be an electrical problem.  Any other weird things, like the
batt light going on, stuff like that?

	You can always try the JASON METHOD.  Add a ground strap! I swear, it
fixed ALL of my hesitation, cold start, and weird electronics problems.
Just run one from the neg battery terminal to the mounting plate of the
ignition coil.  Hey, it'll cost you 3 bucks and can't hurt, right?

	Good luck
