need to ask... is this the dist side plug or engine harness side plug ?

if dist side plug and is on car, thats a bad sign. Both ends must be isolated from chassis, and should get between 150-900 ohms reading, althought tipically goes between 250-320 ohms testing between both leads at plug

if is engine harness side plug, actually the terminal to ground ( 5th pin of ECU ) should be the male not the female. so Should get continuity with chassis being ECU plugged, good ECU, and good grounded.

I never have tested if with a test light the female terminal could get the light on... although very well could be with ign key in RUN. Don't take my words though


Hello! We survived the storm and we have power at the house. I haven't been able to tinker with my car much but wanted to give an update. This photo is the wire harness side. I did not actually check the distributor side with the test light.


Mopar or no car
