sounds like it a electrical problem check all connections mate and ohms on sensors do the wiggle test on the loom as maybe a broken wire

Defo sounds electric problem, check obvious things like coil connection also, as said the wiggle test is going to be most use here.

Yank the steering wheel adjustable reach in/out a couple of times, there can be loose connections there.

I suspect the CPS from what you said also about the tacho, the connector pins often loose there grip, again the wiggle test would confirm this.
