i just got the t-bird out today to get ready for another trip to ft knox. started the car and as i was pulling out the tach stopped working and it died a few seconds later. it was very tough to get it started again but once it did start still no tach i parked it and it took about 5-8min before the check engine light came on. it pulled a code 19. anyone help with this as i do not have much time to fix it would be great. if i cant get it fixed by thursday ill have to barrow a car from someone. my suburban would run my broke with gas to ft knox.
 
Not sure what code 19 is off the top of my head but from what you are describing sounds like your cam sensor is dead.

That is usually a sign of the cam sensor going out. If the tach acts all wacky or stops working and the car is hard to start that points to the cam sensor. :D
