A while back I put 190mph gauges on my Fiero, and bought a crystal to fix the error. However I got lazy and never bothered to install the crystal. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Like where it goes? Pictures would be amazing.

Thank you!

I found a website that gives the formula 534/max speed = MHz crystal needed. So 534/190 gives 2.81. I forgot what MHz crystal I bought, but I did the calculations when I bought it so it should be right.

I'm sure there's pics in the archives and you'll need a soldering iron and solder. Shouldn't be too hard of a job. If you never soldered before you may want to find someone who has. Wouldn't want to mess up a good board.
