Re: 4kq Cruise Problems (Still)

The second car that started to not work happened right after I changed the
speedo in it so I figure that the new unit is not sending the brain the
right info. As I just posted to list, I wonder how to check this.  Do I
check the pins at the back of speedo.  IF so, what should they read or
what range do I measure.  Resistance or Voltage or Amps?  I guess the
faster the little wheel spins the more speed it registers so it must be a
voltage or amperage thing???  Faster it spins more power it gives brain?
	Anyhow, I suspect that is the problem on at least one of the cars.
Huw, you say there is a section in Bently that covers Cruise Control?  I
cant find mutch other than a hard to understand diagram.  What page.  I
have the 4kq/tqc Bently.
