If I am reading this correctly in the FAQs, when disconnected, the resistance between either of the 2 ECT pins and ground should match the following table (taken from the FAQs). Correct me if I am wrong.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The resistance values between ECU pins 13 and 5,

or between each of the pins on the sensor and ground, ******

are (by eye from the chart):
32F (0C)-- about 6000 ohms within a range of +/- 10%
68F(20C) -- about 2300 ohms "
104F(40C) -- about 1300 ohms "
140F(60C) -- about 600 ohms "
176F(80C) -- about 300 ohms "
212F -- about 190 ohms "

-------------------------------------------------------------------
So if both pins read less than 2 ohms at approx 20C (68F) the puppy is dead. Anyone disagree?

While I'm here, I have what feels like a little slop in my steering, tie rods are tight, column connections are tight, everything seems as it should be. Is there a adjustment to tighten up the rack & pinion gear mesh?

As always, thanks in advance...
