The pump does run when I put power to the wire.

By touching the center and each outside pin, the needle on the ohmmeter either stays put or goes all the way over to the right side (like I touched the two meter wires together). When I crank the engine, the ohmmeter fluctuates back and forth, using up about the middle third of the screen. So this shows that the trigger points are working ok ???
