coils read 400 ohms each. that sounds about right. there are 2 on this
car. the third pickup would be if it had fuel injection which it doesnt
have.
ECU???
I have a 15 amp fuse under the hood labeled ECU.
With ignition switch on, when I pull fuse and put volt meter across
terminals, where fuse should be, I read no voltage!.
I switch to amps and put leads across terminals I read 0 amps!
No load at ECU?
At fuse block it is a tan or yellow wire with white stripe and 2 silver
dots. I could not find a wire at ecu with those colors
Where does power to ecu come from?
Is there an easy test to see if it has power? some kind of selftest..
I need a wiring diagram. Anybody have one?
