Hello!
So I got bitten by the boost bug and I decided to buy a CTSC high boost kit from another member on the board. It came with a series 1 AEM EMS which was already tuned (figured it would be a good base map since my set up is similar). The install mostly went without a hitch per the instructions. The car starts and everything, but the speedo doesn't work. I've checked the VSS wire to the ECU; it's reading 12v. Not sure if it's the VSS, because I've replaced that recently, actually. I ordered a new one anyway which is on the way.
Everything in the engine bay is plugged in. I tried to use the factory ECU, but it won't start the car, I figured giving the car momentum with the factory ECU in the "on" position should at least read speed. No go.
I tried a diode to the VSS wire going into the ECU to see if there was some kind of negative feed back. Also nothing. Moved the jumper inside the AEM unit as suggested by the installation notes for the unit, but that didn't work either.
I've tried contacting AEM, almost sure they just don't give a shit about this unit anymore to provide feedback or support. Their forums had little information about if it could be the EMS or not.
I've checked all my fuses, tested all my grounds. I've never removed my cluster either, but I guess I can check there too. This whole thing is so strange to me.
Are there any fuse areas I may be missing?
I'm at wits end trying to figure out this issue! Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
