Do you mean
A) where on the idle speed controller do i put the probes of my multimeter? or B) What tool do I use to measure resistance? Don't know the answer to A, answer to be would be a multimeter.

Set it to Ohms, not volts.
Buy a digital one. Harbor freight sells them for <$10 The stealth diagrams should have which "pins" on the plug to test across and what Ohms it should read if working properly. Those guys don't know that? What do they forum about, picking up chicks?

I like mine. Has a nice exhaust system on it (not a coffee can). Does your friend have the R/T Turbo, or R/T? Turbo = godly. I have the mear R/T but i still like it. The turbos tend to fall apart easily because they rushed them off the line, and didnt upgrade the integraty of anything. *shrug*. Its ok i dont have to worry about it. Since i got it about 2 months ago i have had to replace the alternator, and i have an idle problem (hence me playing with the idle control) dont really know whats causing it. Of course, noone on the stealth boards can tell me anything.
<3 for porsche. i walk by my wrecked 944 every day and say, what i wouldn't give to still be driving you. *edit* oh btw, <3 for family guy as well
