Idle Problems.. new thread for problems

I just took a look under my hood. I have one thick cable going from the battery it looks as if it dips under the car and goes to maybe the starter?

Then i have another one small one that goes from battery to the chassis and another wire comes out of the same connection to the chassis which goes to some connector it looks like.

I can't see the block grounds nor do i know where the holes to put them into are?

1.) With the power off, measure the resistance between the computer test ground
(black/white wire) on the self test connector and battery ground. You should see less than 2.0 ohms.

With the car off, and my meter on 200 on OHM's I got a .6 OHMS


2.) MAP circuit: Check the resistance between the black/white wire on the MAP/BARO sensor and then the black/white wire on the EGR and the same wire on the TPS. It should be less than 1 ohms. Higher resistance than 1 ohms indicates a problem with the 10 pin connector or the splice inside the main harness where the wire from the 10 pin connectors joins the rest of the black/white wire. Next check the resistance between the black/white wire and the negative battery cable. It should be less than 2.0 ohms.

Black/White on Map and Black/White on EGR- .6 Ohms
Black/White on Map and Black/White on TPS- .6 Ohms
Black/White on EGR and Black White on TPS- .2 Ohms

3.) Engine mounted sensor circuit: Check the resistance between the black/white wire on the TPS and battery ground. It should be less than 2.0 ohms. Higher resistance than 2.0 ohms indicates a problem with the 10 pin connector or the splice inside the main harness where the wire from the 10 pin connectors joins the rest of the black/white wire.

I got no resistance with Black/White wire on TPS and Battery Ground..

But i did get resistance on the TPS Red/White wire and Battery Ground- .4 OHMS



Let me know guys...

The wire inside the harness where the TPS/MAP/Baro black/white wires join the black/white wire for the self test connector has a bad connection.

You get to split the harness open at the point where the 10 pin connector wiring joins the main harness and look for the splice in the black/white wire. When you find it, look for signs of the wire breaking under the insulation or a faulty crimp or solder joint.
