My 91 galant vr4 has a stage three keydiver in it. i know how to select which two step rpm i want but cant get it to activate. Someone told me the clutchwire mod has to be done in order to use the two step launch control since i have NLTS programmed in my chip? Is this the case why my two step wont work or could it be something else? Im sorry for the noob questions! i researched but couldnt find a definite answer.
 
Man, its been years since I've used a keydiver chip. I wanna say that it does require a clutch wire. Since you dont have one, and you're 2 step isn't working, I'm gonna go ahead and say you need to wire one in.
 
well i guess either way im gonna have to wire it in for the NLTS but i just wanted to be able to sleep better at night and know its just the wiring in the clutch wire and not a grounding issue with my TB? anyone else care to add anything?
 
I'm glad you mentioned that. I remember once when my 2 step wasn't working and I had tossed a ground wire from my idle stop switch to the firewall. Then it was good. Then I had another DSM that didn't require that, it was really weird. However, I always had a clutch wire installed.

How do I select the stutterbox rpm that I want?
When you first turn the ignition key ON, tap the gas pedal while watching the factory boost gauge. Each higher step on the gauge represents a higher stutterbox rpm. Once you have selected the rpm you want, start the car, and the ECU will remember the rpm you selected next time.
PLEASE NOTE: The ECU uses the idle position switch on the throttlebody to see if you are tapping the gas pedal. If the needle doesn't move when you tap the gas, that means that your IPS is either bad, disconnected, or misadjusted. I find this most often on 2G cars with a 6-bolt conversion. On a 1G car, the most often causes are either the single spade terminal falling off the Idle Position Switch on the left rear of the throttlebody, or a miswiring issue caused by using the wrong (1990 vs 1991+) ECU.
