Hey guys, I converted my car to maf about a year ago. It is an 87 gt and it has cruise control. I am a little confused with the vss sensor. Since my car has cruise control, do I still need to splice in the wires for the vss sensor into the eec connector?

Thanks,

yea, I read that a bunch and I was still confused so I tapped into the wires in the 8 pin connector and added them into the eec connector anyways. it keeps my idle higher when I put the car into to neutral so i'm glad I did it.

Thanks,

Yes, you should do it. It's strongly recommended.
