still no start
i went through ignition system test procedures outlined with Bentley and all seemed to show proper function - except inability to check knock sensor
i tested the plug wires
all wires from plugs to distributor measure 3.8-4.2(with multi-meter set to 20K ohms)
however, the wire from coil to distributor measures resistance at 13.4 ohms
are these measurement, then in thousands of ohms since meter sensitivity is set to 20K?
CAVEAT - these wires have at least 180K miles and 8 years on them (7mm bosch)
and the coil wire has a rubbed thin area where it was touching cold start valve vacuum hose
NOTE - recall that when i was running the car and pulled the timing light connections off there was a clicky arcing type of sound from the coil area - with restsance measurements like i got from coil wire is it possible the coil wire is bad enough to cause a no start?

i did run the car for about 2 minutes after i changed the t-belt and the valves before i checked the timing and did a tensioner adjustment for good measure so i am pretty sure the t belt is good and not jumped

the throttle position sensor did not click when throttle was moved so i adjusted it to when i just budge the throttle it goes "click"
