is it worth it to go out and buy an ohmmeter or am i better off just using the 2 led test light set up? ive just heard rumors about the lights frying ecu's and whatnot. so which is best, light or ohmeter?

 

I like the meter..

 

The multimeter has plenty of uses...I agree with gonzz.

 

how much is the average meter?

 

30$ cndn for a digital

 

FWIW, I had more luck using the light method.

 

I like the multimeter. You can get one at radioshack for 20 bucks.

 

so just one of these would work?

Another good one is the Sears one...
They went one sale for $10 a few months ago!
I just had to pick up a spare after dropping $100 on a top-of-the-line Radio Shack one. :P

awesome

thanks for the replies

 

I bought my digital meter at Advance Auto. Typically I will set the TPS using the twin lights and then verify the setting by hooking up the OHM meter. On my car (91 N/A) the resistance usually reads between 1050 and 1100 when only one test light is lit.

 

You can get a very nice one for about 50 bucks at frye's. Its every bit as good as the flukes, except its not autoranging.
