Yeah, I know that the VR sensor is good. A: It's brand new, and B: I've tested both voltage and frequency from the sensor. I have made one important discovery. I've been told repeatedly that this sensor is a hall sensor and not a VR. The reason everyone tells me this is because it is a 3 wire sensor ...

Ok, so I had a RPM signal and now I've lost it. It started out to be an intermittent signal and now has dropped off to nothing. I checked the capacitor on my alternator and it was in spec. I grounded the shield wire to the engine block. Still nothing. I'm really starting to wonder why I'm having ...

I got a rpm signal, finally. There was a bit of wire crossing and some unorthodox practices involved, but I finally saw my tach come to life. Thanks for everyone's help. I wasn't able to start it since it's 12:30 and curfew here is at 10, but tomorrow is a new day!

I'm using a MSII v3.57, controlling fuel and spark. I'm using the 60-2 oem crank wheel with the oem sensor. It's a 3 wire sensor. Direct coil, waste spark coil pack. I've tried everything that everyone has told me to try and still nothing. Swapped the positive and negative leads to the sensor ...

What is you engine configuration? I have a 2.0L ABA block with a 16v head. I'm trying to start my car for the first time and I'm not getting a Tach signal. Is the OEM crank sensor a Hall or a VR? and how is it wired? I've been stumped for about two weeks now and would appreciate the help.

Thanks Brian I appreciate your help on this.

The list of modifications is a long one. In short It's a 2.0l ABA block with a 9a 16v head. I've installed a 16v distributor block off plate and I'm using waste spark coil pack from a 2000 up 2.0l. I learned today that what I thought was a VR sensor on the crank wheel is actually a hall effect ...

I see that you can use the VR circuit with a Hall Sensor, my question is how do you wire the hall sensor and how many volts do you send to it? I'm using a VW crank hall effect sensor. Please help.

Thanks for the MSQ I will try it first thing tomorrow and let you know how it works.

I'm using a waste spark coil pack from a 2000 up 2.0L. How did you wire the connector your VR sensor? I have it wired terminal 1: shielded. terminal 2: MS grounded, and terminal 3: Sensor ground to the engine. I thought I may have had it backwards so I moved the shielded wire to terminal 2 and the ...

I have read tried the VR adjustment section, but still have had no luck. I'm using a stock Volkswagen VR crank sensor found on 1993-1999.5 2.0L engines. It has a 60 tooth wheel minus 2 teeth. I show continuity from the sensor to the MS connector. I have also verified that the sensor is working ...
