I need a lot more information...

Can your MS get an RPM signal on a Stim?

Are you using a wheel decoder?

Do you have an oscilloscope by any chance?

Can your MS get an RPM signal on a Stim? I do have a stim, doesnt seem to be functioning correctly ( can it be used with tuner studio?)

Are you using a wheel decoder? No wheel decoder

Do you have an oscilloscope by any chance? I could get my hands on one. I should test the sensor first. If its not the sensor then the ecu is corrupt?
its a school project and many people not knowing what they were doing messed with the ecu

IMHO, the main reason for the stim is to test the basics of the MS before it is installed. If it doesn't work on the stim it won't when installed.

It will work with TS.
