How ye... Havin trouble already and only have it a few days...FML

Basically, i got the car bog standard monday night and was flying.. Put coilovers and a shorter ratio welded diff in tuesday and since then the rev limit has dropped to 5200 rpm :confused:

While i was doin the diff, i obviously disconnected the ABS as i dont need it anymore.
Same with the speedo, speed reading is takin from the diff but when i put this diff together a few years ago i done away with that anyway..
When i got the car the Traction Control already wasnt workin..

So i brought it to an Auto electrician who plugged in and fault code 214 came up, speed signal sensor it said, wiped it but it came back again when i drove the car..

Anyone else ever had this problem? Surely there must be some way around it? I really really dont wanna have to go rippin the diff and i dont want a speedo anyway!

Car is a 97 328

id say the lack of vehicle speed signal is puttin it into a kind of limp mode! also on a lot of yokes the speed signal is picked up through the abs sensors aswell! connect up tthe main speedo in the diff if ya can and start from there
