Actually purchased a brand new one from someone on the Net. It's in there
right now and it measures 22 Ohms. Didn't solve anything though. Fuel
pressure tests were taken and everything is well there also.

Each connector should register 11.5 volts, or almost battery voltage ,eh? I
will measure tonight. The aux. air valve seems to be operating since I
performed that "pinch the hose and watch the idle drop" test, and boy did
the idle drop when it was cold.

Keep me posted. I'll report the voltage results later this evening. Thanks
a mil!
