You may have to experiment with values as you are trying to find the value which puts just enough load on the VR sensor to take up the small spikes but does not load the sensor enough that at low RPMs the signal is too weak.
Sorry to thread jack, but I’m trying to eliminate coil noise and 11/17 sync loss on a MS2V3.0 with a Zeal card for the second VR. Stock coils and CAS.
I put a 10K resistor on the VR2 OUT back to the main board, but are you guys recommending putting bridging a resistor between VR+/VR- ? or one resistor from VR+ to the board and another for VR- to the board?
For the MS2, VR1 comes in on pins 2 and 24 and VR2 uses the IAC spares. It’s easy enough to intercept VR2 +/- at the Zeal card, but I’m not sure its possible to add resistors to VR1 since I do not have access to the wiring harness.
Thanks

Ken,
I believe it's using VR1 for G+/G-
I'm using the mainboard VR circuit for N+/N-
Pots are adjusted correctly and was getting sync loss with multiple different CAS's and no resistor.
I just added a 10k inline with the VR2 Zeal output and the input to the CPU (JS10).
Any suggestions before I ship it back to the owner?

Yes they are different. VR1 is set up for the primary (Ne) trigger. VR2 is set up for the secondary (G) trigger. This should also be documented with the board's docs.
The secondary is a lot more susceptible to noise and therefore needs more filtering at the electronic level.
