HELP, My tach is POSSESSED!!!!

I have an Auto meter sport comp silver tach and I think its crapping out. When I start the car up it will just sit at zero and sometimes jerk a little bit. It will work again sometimes if I give it a gentle slap but most of the time this does not help. After I've been driving for a while at varying RPMs it will start reading properly but stops again just as quick. It will not work at all at continuous RPMs (freeway driving). I don't think the connections are bad, could it be the internal?
