Hi Nerys,

For what it's worth...

On the Insight, the TPS is not as sensitive as the MPH indicator.

I have not kept a real close eye on this, but have noticed in warmer weather, and with the TPS at 17, the mph can vary I'd guess about 3 mph.

That is to say, watching the MPH indicator gives a better hold on speed than watching the TPS reading on the ScanGauge.

My tach is not nearly as sensitive as the MPH reading.

I suppose one could put an externally mounted variable pot on the throttle body shaft and make that work in conjunction with an ohm meter reading...

Jim.
