97 Civic, tachometer jumps up

    My daughter's 97 Civic had its engine replaced recently. Today, as the car
    went over bumps she saw a light blinking. She thinks it's the check engine
    light.



    At the same time, the tachometer would jump 500 or more RPMs, but she didn't
    notice the engine increasing in acceleration. I drove the car myself and, as
    I saw the tachometer increase by 500 to 1000 RPMs, I heard a noise twice.
    Not big nor long, but as if something was grinding against something. I
    didn't notice the engine increase in RPMs either.



    Any idea what this may be?



    Than you
