... and all the wires are apparently connected the way they should be. I spent a fair amount of time this afternoon looking at the Mallory manuals, then the car, then the manuals, then the - you know the drill.

Anyway, tried to do the Mallory module test, but since the HyFire is apparently a capacitive discharge system, and I have *no* idea how to bypass it, I wasn't getting the voltages the doc said I should. However, it occured to me that there must be some other way to test the module. I've included a picture of it (or will try to - I don't think it's too big) - the module has three wires - red for power, brown for ground, and green for signal, right? It seems that putting the volt meter on the green lead would provide an indication of it working.

What the volt meter told me was that with the optical sensor open, there was a 6mV signal (between the green lead and ground). When I blocked the sensor, it went to negative negligible voltage. This was on the suspect module - I managed to short the pos and ground and blew the ignition fuse, and spent a fair part of the afternoon finding and replacing the fuse.

Anyway, does this seem like a reasonable way to test the module, and any ideas as to what I *should* see at the green lead? I'm planning to call Mallory tech on Tuesday, but I'm betting I'll get more valuable information here!

Thanks,
