Ive never used a multimeter, but I understand its purpose. My question is, when checking the "dead end" connector, what am I checking for? Continuity? Voltage? AC? DC? Current? Resistance?

I tried to check voltage and continuity, and got different results. Im assuming I would need to take one end of the multimeter probe, touch it on the power wire for the injector clip, and the other multimeter probe on the "dead end" connector wires. But when I did that, I got different results for voltage, and continuity.

by the way, Im in the garage doing this right now, quick would be appreciated.

 

basically for those of you who have no idea what im trying to accomplish, I need to figure out which wires in the connector are getting power. what would I be looking for? voltage? AC? DC? Continuity? Current? etc

 

DC Voltage.... With the Black lead touch ground or car frame and with the red lead touch the wire you want to test..... hope this helps

 

I dont think that is going to work. I have to figure out which power wire from the injector, is connected to which terminal on the connector. there are 8 terminals on the "dead end" connector, I have to figure out which ones are for the injectors so I can insert a resistor to bring down the ohms for high impedence injectors.

Hmmmmm.... if the engine harness has not changed through the years you want to splice wires (looking at the harness from the front bumper toward the drivers seat. Looking at the clip, four rows from top to bottom with two wires in each row):

Row #1 wire #2
Row #2 wire #2
Row #3 wire #2
Row #4 wire #1

All wires are going to be yellow with solid black stripe. It doesn't matter which wires you use for power and which you use for injectors.

 

I figured it out. I just wasnt sure what I was measuring for (continuity, voltage, etc). and yes you are correct with which wires it is.
