Yes. I really do want to use existing signals. They're easy to get to. It's just a matter of calibrating them.

PW at idle seems to be about 400uS.

After some experimenting, VSS = 8400 is close. Haven't gotten to uS/Gal yet.

I'm wrestling with what looks like noise. When the car is stopped with engine off, speed registers about 14-15 mph and mpg keeps ticking slowly. I'm reworking my connections to the car. Alligator clips now.

My MPGuino is on a breadboard and seems to be working correctly.

what is INJECTOR pulse width at idle? So that you know the conversion factor for that signal you are looking at.

Ah! I'll have to dig for that. Not this week. Soon though.

Ok, I'd suggest measuring the injector signal along side that plug signal under a couple rpms and maybe it would make more sense.
