A bad ignition coil can cause your 1987 Acura tachometer to quit working. A bad tachometer cable or ground wire can also cause it to quit working.

The tach works off of the distributor.
my 94 has tach machined on the coil mine is a 4.6L
The green wire from the tach goes to the negative side of the coil.
You will need to hook up your tachometer to the coil connector. After disconnecting the throttle sensor and applying the hand brake, look for the plain black wire at the coil connector to hook it up to.
TRy on the neg side of the coil.
bad ground wire at the coil probably
on my tach, the green wire connects to the neg on the ign coil pack
It's not on the coil. The powertrain control module (PCM), located under the dash, provides the signal to the tachometer. By the way, your 1992 Saturn sedan (presuming it's a dual overhead cam) is an SL2, not an SC2.
The Mazda tachometer and the speedometer have separate cables. The tachometer cable probably does not work properly. Change the tachometer cable.
To install a tachometer first determine where the tachometer will be mounted on the dash column. Then, use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the clamp around the column of the tachometer mount. Next, put the two red "trigger" wires through the firewall and connect the other ends to the coil wires of the distributor. Wrap the tachometer wire around the ignition coil bolts. The remaining two wires must be wired into the ignition of the car. Insert them into the power terminal of the fuse box which permits the tachometer to operate when the engine is on.
