Please post more details of the ignition type you're running - crank triggered or cam triggered? How many teeth on the wheel? Any large gaps?

This may help...

Its quite a common question, usually the problem is caused by mistaking VR for Hall and vise versa. There's a couple of other threads on this forum.

VW ABF motor 100% Hall type sensor on 60-2 wheel..

Use the Opto input make sure that you don't have the 0.22uf Cap (Dave Cap I think it's called) and no diodes. wire up as per manual.

Trust me... Done dozens of them I've done my :RTFM:
