3 Replacing Fuel Distributor and Pressure Regulator

[SuffolkD at aol.com]

Marc:

Good question.  Without a Bentley (or Bosch) book for your year I don't know 
what the CIS-E III DPR value should be.
I got a value scrawled on scrap paper and was told: "check for this value" 
that was for CIS-E 1987 4000Q 2.2L 5cyl.
Salvage ones I checked had higher than ~200 ohms and climbed towards 
infinity: "Open circuit"  those were "bad."
One with a rock steady value was what I bought from the junk yard and it made 
all the difference.  The one I used came from a VW quantum.

Anyone know the CIS -E lll value for the DPR should be?  Vehicle is a 100.
