Launch Control

Hi,

So im trying to setup launch control on my MS1 V3.0. However, I can't seem to find any pictures of the circuit needed to do this, or which pin on the DB37 is the input for the clutch switch.

So, can someone please enlighten me?

you can run it through the DB37, since there are pins that arent being used, such as the ones for the idle air stepper valve (i think, there are 4 interspersed in the bottom row of the DB37), and a few other spare pins that you have probably already run spark through.

However, it isnt already connected to the DB37, so you'll need to run a jumper from the appropriate hole on the underside of the board to that pin.

The 1n4001DICT-ND should be ok.
