this may be way off...im pretty sure it is...........BUT
when your stopped...your going 0MPH.....set it
and when the cars off...your doing 0RPMs...set it

i thought mine was off...so i stopped and talked to this cop who was running radar and explained to him..he clocked me and it was dead on......got pulled over leaving town later that same night...we both got a kick out of it

I know where your coming from. I took my time takin off my needles and writing down where they were and that did me noooo GOOOD. I had to hook my car up to WINDL one night and use that as a judge and put my needles on according to whut the laptop said. That is the only REAL way to fix that. Good luck

Well if you have a lap top Talk to JPrevost or Jim86Bird and get WINADL. And also have them tell you how to make the connector. Once you have those to things (winadl is free, and the cable takes a few min to make) all you do it plug in to your ALDL, and presto you are reading your computer.
