I converted to efi years ago but to date, still haven't gotten around to putting the speed sensor (off the speedo cable) in. There's a duff's bracket for the shifter in the way; I need to cut it and weld in a U to clear the speed sensor. I can tell that the computer gets a little confused sometimes, especially coming to a stop, the engine idles high for a few seconds before settling down. That's about it though, far as I can tell. Can anyone here tell me if I'm majorly disadvantaging myself by not having the sensor installed?
I'm also wondering if I need to flash the system--reset it--so when I go to drive it around and let the computer 'learn' for a few hours it can do so with the speed sensor installed and sending info to the computer. That brings up another question, when you disconnect the battery, does that effectively reset the computer? Or for that matter is the computer always learning? If you run the computer with one setup then make a change, will it adapt to the change? Or does it need to be reset to start from a base of 0?
I'm curious and I know you have the answers.
