ive been through the manual, doesnt seem to do much good, and its just had a whole new dizzy unit on it, the only thing on the ignition side is the leads, and yea its a jdm, its not so much erratic, just slow to respond, i think its the vss, causing a few problems if you keep the speed under 20 after pulling away it wont register the speed, and it runs like jobby, if you give it a boot full shes fine, and knighmare i would appreciate it if you could sort the speedo needle out!

Hmmm, if it's just had a new dizzy, and you're getting those issues that's sets alarm bells ringing to me - are you 100% sure it'e been fitted correctly?

Have you checked the timing? if you've put a new Dizzy on without timing it that could be your problem

the timing is spot on, the hesitation isnt consistant, some days shes ok some days shes bad, the only thing ive noticedif the speedo, isnt reading its more likely to hesitate, think this has got something to do with the vss

my mph coverter is behind the tweeter cover right next to the clocks if it went wrong or going wrong it would affect the clocks first.
have you seen where yours is?

Yeah but if it's after the ECU it won't affect the running of the car

Has the ECU logged any error codes at all?
