You ask for help then give answers like this?
I don't believe you tested properly.
If you did, what parameter did you use? What unit of measurement? What setting in the meter? What condition did your test under?
Howdy, sry about the late reply,
So I tested with a multimeter on voltage setting starting with the battery (which is brand new) when the car is off to get a base line and got 12.9v from +ve to -ve posts. then checked the +ve to chassis (ground) and got the same.
moved to the front of the car and checked the positive jumper post to ground post and got 12.9v . I then tested +ve jumper post to engine which I think got 0v .
I tested +ve fusebox post to chassis and got 12.8v
I then put multimeter on ohms 20k setting and went from chassis to engine and got 0.01 ohms (Passenger side post) then repeated on drivers side and got 0.01 ohms. I also tested +ve jumper post to engine and the ohms steadily climed from 0.01 up to over 1.0 ( I presume is normal since going from +ve to -ve?) I repeated the ohms test on the fuse box +ve to chassis and engine and same thing happened. I've ohms tested the ground strap and starter motor +ve cable from end to end (while off the car) and it had 0.01 ohms.
when the car was running the voltage test showed 14.8v at the jumper post and right back to the battery. I repeated the ohms test while the car was running and it was the same.
hopefully that was correct?
since my last post I have replaced the crank shaft position sensor with a brand new one and replaced the ground strap with a new 4awg ground strap ( designed for battery negative) but it's still doing the same thing.
one thing to note was I tried to voltage and ohms test the other connector going to the starter motor which is the only other wiring going to the start and didn't get any readings. I've looked everywhere as to that that connector is for but couldn't find anything. I presume it's the signal connector from the ignition?
if there's anything I've missed please let me know.
