as has been mentioned the ECU gets a speed signal from the speedo clocks. If this is missing the engine stalls when you pull up to junctions. | |

More details of the precise problem are required i feel. Does it cut out while driving or on start up. Changing gear, idling etc etc | |

However I dont know what this has to do with the lads problem! Did vaux plug it into tech 2? Is the speedo connected? | |

yes there is 100% a sensor for speed in the clocks if i recall its a blue wire coming from the clocks through the immobiliser and off to the ecu!! | |

are you sure there is a sensor from cable driven clocks? I always thought that they were just connected to the crank to simply detrmine engine speed. | |

the ECU does sometimes pick up a speed sensor from the back of the clocks (if they are cable driven) , but not an rpm signal that comes from crank/cam sensors! | |

quote: FPMSL, as broster says, ignore them bunch of monkeys. The rev counter is told what to display, not the other way around! The car doesnt even need clocks since the ECU knows exactly what speed the car is doing from the crank speed etc etc | |

no mate thats a load of poo, seriously, as long as the speedo is working then its all ok, you dont need a rev counter, the ecu will know what speed the engine is going at, take it to a decent garage hwo kno what the yare on about, whats the fault code says wrong/? | |
