Default RPM Needle Being Retarded...

This started about a week ago, anytime I'm accelerating, no matter what gear, the RPM needle moves up smoothely until I hit about 2000RPM, then it starts to jump around. For example, in 4th gear going about 60km/h, the needle jumps back and forth between 2000RPM and 4000RPM... Any ideas why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Is the engine stumbling too or is it just the needle?

Do you have the msd ignition installed?

Edit - Check your tps signal wire I think it's blue
