I'd say your tach is fried, obviously it's not showing the correct values and that huge stutter it makes midway through usually means the stepper motor is going out. HOWEVER you can verify to make sure it's not a bad signal being sent to it by using an OBD2 scanner and reading the tach values from there, if it shows the same values as displayed on the tach then you have some kind of issue with the signal sent from the ECU.
It's also possible you have a ground issue with the combination meter but that would usually affect EVERY gauge not just one.

The problem with the diagnostic mode iirc is the gauges only go up like 25% when you press the trip odometer button. I can look for the instructions on it later when I'm home but I think you just hold the odometer button down and turn the ignition to ON then press the odometer button 3 times. Then every time you press the button again it makes the gauges move.
