She's running under full power !

Hi

The VSS that I have is one that hooks up to the speedo cable, so if I dyno my car I would need to make arrangements to trigger it. I'm pretty sure the VSS. informs the management software that the car has stopped, you wouldn't want to have an error code show up during tuning.

I now have plug & play Autronic SM4 ecu for my car which has an Autotune feature, I just need to buy O2 interface for it and then I could do most of the tuning on the road.

Ya my van is still subaru ecu but I have a Apexi Power FC for the beetle. The one problem with the little VSS simulator circuit that I have is that it is on all the time, so the high idle you get while driving the car is there all the time. I would be nice if when stopped it would idle down some. I think I'm going to try the reed switch idea seems it seems fairly cheap and easy/quick.

Ah, Now I see

When the stock ECU does not see a VSS signal it will limit the RPM's to 3500 (or so).
So yeah, tuning with only 3500 RPM wouldn't work so great
