I am running the 2.1 motor I am still using the 1.9 computer and the
grounds are different. they all come together at the left head with a
strap that goes to the chassis that has a couple more wires. I have
cleaned these up and checked them to the connector at the ecu. They all
seem ok except one that reads 40 ohms. Does anyone know if this is
correct? Or have I found a problem?

TIA Rob...
