94 tracker VSS on a manual Transmission?

[finfin]

Can someone tell me if a '94 tracker TBI with a 5-speed manual transmission have a vss sensor and if it does where can I find the vss wire?

vss= vehicle speed sensor is in the Speedo.

91 MPI shows Yellow wire. & pulses to frame ground.

other years , 96 shows pairs (yellow and yellow/red)
or Yellow and Yellow/black.
hope this helps.

no 94 schematic.

Cool! I've found a program and simple wiring job to show instant MPG as well as a trip MPG and some other MPG on a laptop. It senses the TBI pulses and the VSS to determine fuel usage rate and distance for the calculations.

Now I need to learn more about Java programming.

there a company that sells this device , taht plugs into OBD2 DLC conn. and will show Real time MPG and many things on a little panel.

but not on these old dogs.
for accuracy you just need to know the fuel pressure on your car.
(and the flow rates on your injector)
in the old days we just had a vacuum gage.
64 GTO had it built in and had a green section for economy.
car could suck gas at 8mpg if you had heavy foot.

Yeah... this is about $2.00 worth of parts and a free program. The fuel flow and distance can be calibrated in the program.

sounds like a good application for a PIC chip (microprocesser)
with tiny LCD display, and sell them here.
use C code to do it. Simple algerbra for the equations.
volume over distance.
too cool.
