I was going to remove them, clean and inspect them, take readings, etc..... But during my searching, somebody raised the possibility of one of those being utilized for the cruise control, which actually does work. Perfectly in fact.
So, I want to trouble shoot my tach without rendering my cruise inop. Make sense?
Fuse for overload protection relay is not blown.
#1 - is the sensor up front where the rpm signal originates?
#2 - what does the sensor on the bell housing do?
#3 - does anyone have this circuit diagram that could scan it and post, or cut and paste if it is electronic?
#4 - what senses the vehicle speed for the cruise system.
Thank yall in advance.

Does your car have an EGR valve? If so, your tach runs via the EGR contol unit. The sensor in the bell housing is the engine speed sensor and the vehicle speed sensor is the small black box behind the speedometer.
