Chip for Northstar

[Chris Moore]

Hi,

  Yes it does hook up after a bit.  It really kicks down when you are in 
passing gear.  I really don't know what to do.  If it is because of the 
wheel sensor inputs, can't I make some kind of unit to produce a signal 
to make it look like it is always moving?  Why can't I get a chip made 
to get rid of this all together?  What would be easier and cheaper?  
Which one would work?  Thanks 

Chris Moore
