That's the crazy part. The jack stand WAS contacting the corners of the rail. And those little bumps on either side of the jack stand's jaw? They were about 0.5 cm clear of the frame rail on either...

Are you suggesting that if the waterpump seizes first, then the static waterpump pulley could cause the timing belt to break? I imagine in such a scenario one would see the coolant temp skyrocket and...

Update!

Holy rusted metal Batman! Replacing the resistor has worked! The boost gauge now reads 1 bar with the ignition on. However, it wasn't that simple. I called all around town looking for a 43 Ohm...
