i was going to suggest also checking your timing because you said when your tach jumped so did your car but looks like someone beat me.

Tach jumping = Ignition switch issues.

have you looked into that?

I had a similar problem ..and it turned out..it was my ignition switch.

I would take the ignition switch out of the other car you have...and put it into the one thats giving you hassles.

be sure to take the negative cable off FIRST...dont want to blow that 50A fuse.

keep me posted Terence!

sorry for bringing up this old thread, but i have the exact same problem.

where is this ignition switch that is being talked about?

[joemomma]

its the alternator, the same exact happened to me and it was the alternator so get a new one, i got mine for $150 at pepboys with a $50 dollar core charge so it came to like $100 bucks or so


{edit} i just realized it was an old post and some one brought it back, i only read the origina post and not the date or anything and answered

check your ground from battery to fender the negative ground. This happend to me before due to corrosion on the cables and the ground snapped off. I replaced the cable and it turned on. Also try resetting ECU by taking off the negative terminal of the battery and wait 15-30 secs and put it back on. Try cranking to see if it turns on.

when i did my head gasket in december i forgot to connect the ground wire on the thermostat housing and it gave me the same issue. no spark or fuel.
