Subject:Continuity question plus

Hi volks,

So I'm still trying to figure out my idling problems, and I have a question
about testing the continuity on the throttle valve.  I tested it on my
multimeter (from the wire end coming from the valve) and the continuity
reading said 4.9 - I don't know if thats good or bad.

My van now won't turn over but its only happened once on Sunday and once
today, Saturday.  I've cleaned all the wire contacts I can think of in on
the starter solanoid and in the engine compartment.  I did that actually
Monday and it started up afterward.  I can tell that my new ISV is
vibrating, my ECU looks okay from the outside - no apparent exposure to any
water or coolant leaks, no burnt wires.  Same with the ISCU. I can hear my
fuel pump buzzing, too, now which I never noticed before.  I also unplugged
my oxygen sensor and it didn't seem to affect the idle.  But now it just
won't turn over again.  Any suggestions of where to go from here?

Peace,
Marla
