Sounds like an Isspro tach. Some of there models need the line with the diode ( thingy ) and others do not. The tach is run off the crank position sensor then through the ecm. There could be an issue with any number of things thats not related to the tach itself. If the crank sensor is frigged then it also will discharge when the ecm looses its signal. I lost a crank sensor in my 93 but it just totally quit.
