Just had a ruff time with a transmission replacement in 1998 windstar, It now has a trans from a 2000, but the newer VSS is a Magnetic pickup where the old VSS was a gear reduced.
When the VSS is connected it looks to be getting about 5+- times the pulses that it should be.
So when driving near 20mh, the gauge reads close to 100mh, and the computer starts cutting the gas down. So, its disconnected and has issues getting out of 1st gear. Computer thinks it's not moving as it's not letting it shift into 2nd. Once, it's in 2nd it's good to go.
I know of a few IC chips that can cut the signal pulses in half and then in quarter. If I can get it to say 70 when I'm only going 56 i'll be
. Because cruse control will work again, and my lead foot won't be collecting tickets
.
Anyone know of a 2000 VSS speed sensor adapter to 1998 computer? or what the voltage/current levels are on the signal cable?
Thanks.
