I have an 88 Formula automatic that recently got a full set of new injectors, plug wires, rotor and cap, plugs. the tach was really jumpy before I got the new injectors, but today I noticed it jumping under load again but not as bad, does anyone have an idea what would cause this besides tach filter?

Iffy filter or tack itself are good bets.
Plug(s) to back of dash and/or dash circuit board can be problems too.

I'm not sure, I'm going to jump the filter and see what I get. it wasn't jumpy when I first got it, and its just upper RPMs under load.

just tried all the cylinders, they're all firing, so I don't get why its jumping under load. oh and I got a code that said my o2 sensor was bad, I'm getting a slight lack of power in the higher rpms, would the dead sensor cause that?

Just what I thought also. I had the same or similar problem. Changed out everything in the ignition system. Still had the problem and changed out the pickup coil and problem solved.
