I dont know which pin it should be from the ECU but just take it direct from the signal wire on the sender (cant remember the colour but there is just a live, earth and signal).

You also need to know how many pulses per second or revolution the sensor kicks out (I don't know this, mine is setup to use rpms) - you can change the way in which the Apexi interprets the pulses in the setup area iirc.

Yeah from memory you set it to 8, it pretty obvious when you get it right cos the speed read out matches your speedo, albeit in KMH! lol
