Was the car still in gear when the tach dropped? IOW, was engine still turning, even though not running? Or you lost power and tach dropped to zero when you pressed in the clutch, so the engine really was not turning?

While I was driving my daughter home the tach dropped to 0 and wouldn't restart. I was able to start it before coming to a stop each time. There was no hesitation.....it just shut off. The car was having idle issues...surging up and down when I would come to a stop, but that was not happening today. The idle would drop slowly from 2k but it didn't surge. I have not changed any parts since my last crys for help....I was just planning on driving it till fall and working on it through the winter. Eric
