Your picture doesn't show any electrolytic capacitors. You already removed them?

Ohm reading for what? Capacitors are measured in micro-Farads (uF).
They should be mounted close to the circuit board. You've got them way up in the air. Don't want them moving around or breaking off a lead.

Thanks man. Yeah I know but I wanted to leave it a little bit longer so it doesn’t get in the way of any ecu programmer when I chip it in the future

^this^ but I'm not sure it would make it 'better' to re-solder them.

Impossible to mount them close unless you wick the solder from the thru-holes.
