Woodjunkie, you're correct. The FSM fuel pump high reading does spec to 3.3 ohms. So 1.1 ohms is absolutely correct, and right in the middle of the range. That's the best possible reading. Given the temp, 30 ° F, getting that reading is unusual, but not beyond the realm.

Cold temps tend to give higher than usual readings, but not necessarily out of the range of possible readings. Given the 1.1 ohms that Krommeweg got, I would say the fuel pump is fine.

If he got 12.1 he got for the AF sensor, it MAY be bad. He should remove it, and take it in the house, and read it there, to get a reading within the temp range the FSM specs out. By the same token, if he's getting a reading from an O2 sensor, which he suspects he got, instead of an AF sensor, could it be correct? 12.1 ohms is good for an O2 sensor, according to the FSM. Just a thought.

BTW, 200 ohms is fine for checking the low readings Krommeweg is getting. On many multimeters, that's the lowest range there is.
Just a note on multimeters, too: make certain you remove at least the negative lead from the battery before you ohm out anything, especially is you leave it in-circuit while testing. The slightest current that passes through the meter while testing can blow the meter's ohms portion. Most meters have a fuse protecting the ohms section, but not all do. Something to bear in mind.

Also, yes, you can slide the meter leads into the back of the connector without hurting anything. Alternatively, you can take a very small piece of solid wire, and slide it into the connector's rear, and the touch the meter lead(s) to that. Whatever you use, just make sure it touches the metal pin inside the connector. Not some piece of insulation, or connector plastic. No damage should be done the connector, as long as no excessive force is used at any time.

Good luck to both of you.
