That way you include the wire-to-terminal, terminal-to-terminal connections on both sides of sender, plus the ground connection. If all is good, no need to test separately. Also provides minimum disturbance which might temporarily fix an intermittent.

But the real bottom line is what voltage the ECU sees, regardless how it got that way. If it's right you're happy. If not you get to slice and dice. d -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage," '85 GL "Poor Relation" |
