Hay guys, could use some help on testing an air bypass valve.

I just purchased a modified 1990 notch that has an idle problem that I've been trying to trace down (rough, unstable, won't idle cold).

Question is: When you unplug connector from the throttle air bypass valve and turn the ignition to the run position (not started) I understand you should be able to read 10v - 12v at the connector. Well I'm only getting .5v - .6v, am I doing something wrong? If not any idea what the problem could be (maybe bad computer or ground?).

One side of the connector (power, red wire) will read 12 volts. The other side (computer, white/lt blue) will be a square wave that varies in duty cycle.
