Default Fuel flow sensor

Has anyone ever known of the fuel flow sensor breaking. I have a 90rst and for some unknown reason the the fuel flow sensor for the computer has been disconnected on the metering head and I was wondering if they are a common fault.

The fuel slow sensor is only for the fuel computer, it is not critical to the running of the car

Nah as i said they don't have anything to do with the running of the car at all, its only there for a fuel computer. The fuel computer compares the rate of fuel flow to the speedo output to calculate MPG figures

If you have doubts as to whether the flow sensor is working theres a test mode you can enter to view all the sensors outputs
