Subject:      Continuity question plus
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hi volks,

So I'm still trying to figure out my idling problems, and I have a question about testing the continuity on the throttle valve. I tested it on my multimeter (from the wire end coming from the valve) and the continuity reading said 4.9 - I don't know if thats good or bad.

My van now won't turn over but its only happened once on Sunday and once today, Saturday. I've cleaned all the wire contacts I can think of in on the starter solanoid and in the engine compartment. I did that actually Monday and it started up afterward. I can tell that my new ISV is vibrating, my ECU looks okay from the outside - no apparent exposure to any water or coolant leaks, no burnt wires. Same with the ISCU. I can hear my fuel pump buzzing, too, now which I never noticed before. I also unplugged my oxygen sensor and it didn't seem to affect the idle. But now it just won't turn over again. Any suggestions of where to go from here?

Peace, Marla '87 Westy GL Vana Morrison
