to start the car,,, as in a mate of mine has swoped boxes and hes not moved over the speed sensor from the box,,, wondering if the car will start or not ?

 

turn the key and find out?

 

yes i believe it will need it to start the car, it needs to know the position of the crank to make it spark at the correct time i'd have thought

 

yes but the speedo wont work

 

if you meen the crank sensor then no it defo wont start

 

i said speed sensor not the cps,, i aint that thick

the car AINT starting hence the question

just wondering but if its just for the clocks then he wont bother

 

Dont think hes on about the crank sensor, The speedo will work that is done mechanically and the speed sensor is on a leccy multi plug thing.
Mine ran without it connected and Tony from Turbosystems at the time told me not to run it not sure why though

 

CPS is somtimes called the speed sensor

and clearly you ARE that thick if you thought it wouldn't start cos the speedo signal ain't connected

 

Speed sensor, ( VSS) as in detecting when the car is moving.

No explanation neccessary.

.

 

maybe cause SOME ecu's wont start unless all sensors are conected when they turn the key as they self test and find a broken circuit so wont allow to start as a saftey measure,,, but you wouldnt know that cause your still using a car with 1970's engine management

 

i'm running T6 now

















not

 

btw ive had peopla at work call stuff all sorts,,, but dont mean its the actual name people refer to when you want a REAL answer

but then thats cause the cam sensor is to mesure the engines speed,, the crank sensor is for the bottoms end position based on the crank spins twice as fast as the the real engine speed

 

bit pointless if you was tbh,,, considering the car works and you dont require all the extra functions the T6 offers

but then ive turned into a lateral thinking person

 

Ginge, it will start fine mate - mine did in the xr2

 

Yeah it will run fine without it, i took mine out as the internal drive broke, just put the speedo cable in its place.
