[DML] Re: Diagnostic plug

["cruznmd" <racuti1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct:

There is a pickup in the flywheel. I've seen it while I was replacing my rear 
crankshaft seal. Many cars are missing the small metal plate that has the wire 
and pickup sensor on it that goes to the diagnostic plug. I actually still had 
mine.

The possible purpose of this pickup other than measuring RPM's by means 
besides the ignition eludes me. I'm sure a vendor like Don Steger (who 
worked at the factory) could shed more light on this.
