The difference between 3500 and 2500 Ohms is probably not significant. It's more likely due to differences in the temp when you took the readings. Ohmmeter readings are only meaningful with no external power applied to the part, so key ON or OFF does not come into the picture. You should just disconnect the sensor from the FI harness and measure the resistance thru the sensor. > The top sensor was also > reading incorrectly, but I tried so many times, now that I am writing this I > forget the final reading, but it was not correct.

Let's both double-check our memories tonight. If it is supposed to be 200-300 but reads 2-3 then it is shorted and you need a new one, as you first suspected. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
