Okay I just looked up in my Manual #16, it says the same. 423 should have over 3000 ohms to ground, and when i trigger 424, 423 should drop the ohms to under 1000. My module does it the opposite way. except when I remove the ground wire of the EFI harness. then it will do it the right way.

It has EST ignition
Are you getting 5V on pin J2-24 Bypass?
Is there 5V reference at the MAP pin C and at TPS pin C?

I have 5v on MAP and TPS. On J2-42 I have no 5V but let me check that twice.

Without 5V there, then the EST is not transferring timing to the ECM

When you say you have 5V on the others, is it exactly 5V or close to?
