More data RE:4ktq FV operation (or lack therof)

[Marc Swanson]

Ok,  I checked a few more things regarding my non-functioning FV.  Someone
mentioned to me that the FV is supposed to have +12 to one pin and an open
wire on the other (unless the FV is plugged in.. which is when you should
get +12 to both), but during the output tests for the FV I saw +12 on both
wires going to the FV with the valve disconnected... I thought one of them
was supposed to be switching to ground at a regular interval..  The orange
wire during these tests had a 1.5 ohm resistance to battery +12 and the
bl/bk wire had a 1.3 ohm resistance to +12.  At the CO tap during the FV
test, the Brown wire was grounded with .35 ohms relative to a good ground
and the Bl/Bk wire was +12.

Now, with the ignition ON but not during the FV output test, the FV had both
wires with less than an ohm of resistance to ground.  Basically the same
state that the valve is in with the ignition off (which makes sense to me...
as long as the valve operates with the engine running and ignition on).

Still getting a duty cycle of 0% at the CO tap and I'm running out of things
to check....  I'm going to go out to the garage one more time tonight and
make SURE that the ignition booster and bracket is fully grounded (I think
it is but I'll double check just for fun).

Thanks for all the help guys!
