WTF is going on here? Please PLease someone help me im gonna freak out, or just sell the car 1996 eagle talon TSI
My specs say 2.1k to 2.7k at 68 degrees, so you have the right specs. What is your meter set to? Some meters have different decimal placement settings, and also range settings, so be sure its on the 1k ohm scale. As temp increases, the resistance decreases, so if your meter is not set correctly, it would be reading 1032 ohms or 1.03k, which would be about right for 70 degrees. At 178 degrees, my specs call for 260-360 ohms.
