Having a misfire but can't locate anyone with same problem

resistance is going down as temp goes up.

A good trick is to also test it in a bowl of ice water as you know that will be 32F. Its possibe for thermistors to be good at a particular temp but be out of whack compared to their design curve. So having multiple readings is a good idea.

Although Im not sure how the coolant temp is leading to a misfire on only one side.

 

I couldn't locate a denso coolent temperature sensor online or at autoparts stores so I bought a delphi

 

I don't neither bit it says in the its one of the causes for a misfire

 

Do you have any weird pops or backfires?

 

Sometimes I can here a pop out the exhaust if I rev it up and down fast. But I don't remember at idle or a steady high rpm

 

So I pulled out the crank sensor and tested it. It had a like a real fine black soot stuck to it when I pulled it out. Here's the reading I get. Can you tell me if I have it set to the right ohms? I get weird readings on the others and at 2k I get nothing.

 

Looks like practically a short to me. You've got the meter set to continuity. Is it beeping?

 

No beeping

 

What should I set it to

 

It might be right. Set it to 200; you should see the same value if it’s correct.

If those are commas in the spec, put it to 2k ohm reading instead.

 

I put to 2k and it quickly flashes 1,800 the goes to 1. And won't read anything. This was yhe black stuff that was stuck to when I pulled it . Turns to like black ash when you rub it between your fingers

 

That means you’re not getting good continuity for the reading. Try cleaning it with some q-tips and 90% alcohol (the contacts). That is just metal, right?

 

If the alligator clips touch it beeps

 

It's like fiber stick to your finger but turns to black powder

 

That's what it should do in continuity mode, so that's good. a -1- with no other digits usually means Open, as in no continuity at all, infinite resistance. Try cleaning the contacts as Jack suggested.

 

Alright thanks
