VS Commodore speed sensor

[Dre]

Hi all, will a bog stock standard manual VS commodore run without a vehicle
speed sensor connected?

I realise that the fuel cutoff on decel and the lean cruise mode will not
function, but will the engine actually run properly??

Cheers Dre

Excellent! Thanks very much for the info :)

The engine in question is my old red 308 and I'm just about to install and
EFI setup out of a VS commdoore. Thing is my HZ ute has a Supra 5 speed in
it and I'm having trouble locating a (any) speed sensor to fit. This means
I can get started and work the VSS out later!

Looks like my Easter break is going get busy!

A mate has a W57 Supra box in a Lotus 7 replica and the car has an
electronic VDO speedo, the speedo came with a transducer that fits where
the original speedo drive was.
An instrument supplier that sells VDO speedo's might be able to tell you
if their speedo transducer will give a signal that the VS ECU can read.
