Ok, the only wierd thing I can find is that the GND. (blk/wht) has a 25 ohm resistance to ACTUAL chassis or battery ground. The Yellow (nominal 5v) reads 4.998v to 5.02v and the Pink (ign. Hot) to GND. reads 12.24v key on and 15v+ running...So, is there a reason why the MAF Harness ground to Chassis ACTUAL or BAT should be at 25 ohms? My 2000 parts gtp is still intact enough to test, and it's MAF GND. to chassis or BAT Ground is 1.2-1.6 ohms....The Schematic makes a cryptic reference to "Ground Distribution Schematics in Wiring Systems" Within the boundary of the underhood fuse block-(dotted line implying fuse box). So I'm just wondering-would any harm be done by connecting a direct chassis Ground to the the MAF Blk/Wht Ground wire? Or is an '01 supposed to have 25 ohms on that particular length of wire???
Is it Time for A Bold Experiment in Electricity(?!) What could *Possibly Go Wrong* if I Truly Ground the B/W MAF Wire? The Car could be Magically fixed(Wishful Thinking), OR, perhaps...Smoke, Sparks, sizzling components underhood and elsewhere!-Even Fire(!) and time for a new car? I'd love to get a solid opinion before doing what *seems* obvious. What bugs me is that the Ground(MAF) to ACTUAL Ground seems to be EXACTLY 25 ohms, and stays there no matter if Pwr. on/Pwr. off or Running. Any Guesses? Or anyone with an '01 that can prove/disprove the 25 ohm anomaly? Thanks to any and all that read this far, Regards, Mike
