i read the guide on how to install a tripminder (mpg meter) in a ranger
http://www.therangerstation.com/Magazine/winter2009/tripminder.htm
and as far as i know, my bronco II has all the necessary connections for it, so i installed it and it shows i get 60 when idling, that seemed ok, so i took it for a spin to see if it acually worked, and to my amazment the faster i went, the more mpg i got!
it maxd out at about 260mpg @65mph
its either the VSS or the "fuel data" pin i added to slot #34 on the big ECU plug.
do i have the right VSS hookup? i have it on VSS+ theres also a VSS-
is pin 34 on my 87 BII actually the "fuel data" or "output data" signal?
according to another writeup i found, "All Ford products using EEC-IV computers have a fuel flow signal that comes from pin #34 of the EEC computer."
has anyone done this? what do you guys think my problem is..
