Troy,

The tach doesn't have any relationship to the speed sensor.
That said it could be that if you are using a VSS simulator and the
wiring was misconnected the tach could be reading the VSS signal.
I have a '95 EJ22 from an automatic equipped Impreza in my van and
used a Parnham VSS simulator.  It cured a couple of annoying issues -
erratic idle and random cut outs at highway speed.
