    The coil may be breaking down under load, due to heat. If you have the turbo engine, I would also replace the Ignition Control Module.

    That sounds like the Ignition Control Module (ICM) is breaking down. On most cars, a wire goes from the ICM to the tachometer; therefore, every "missed beat" is reflected on the tach.
