uvch connector

I replaced CAC boots a couple weeks ago, and while there, I took some ohm readings at the uvch connectors.

pass / driver

G 0.7 / G 0.5
G 1.0 / G 0.5
I 3.3 / I 3.2
I 3.3 / I 3.5
C / C
I 4.3 / I 4.1
I 3.3 / I 24.0
G 0.8 / G 0.5
G 0.7 / G 0.5

Prior to the readings, I felt truck was running good. After, I question if it doesn't feel like a miss. Might be just my imagination after reading 24. I plan to read these again, and have a second meter also.

Question is, would an injector reading of 24 ohms trip a SES light? I have none. Also may pull the valve cover to check harness, retorque bolts. I found a conversion for in/lbs to ft/lbs of .08333. Has any one used this for 120 in/lbs = @10 ft/lbs?

Thanks

You would think a reading that high would cause the IDM to throw some kind of code, but I don't know for sure. Yes your conversion is correct, but the simple way to remember it is there are 12 inches in a foot. 12 in/lbs = 1 ft/lb, or 120 in/lbs = 10 ft/lbs

That brings back memories of my shop teacher in high school waaaaaaaaaaay back when. He used to preach that conversion after seeing many students over torque bolts.

I understand better with examples..
Inches is always the more aggressive( busier, More, Higher number) over foot pounds

So from foot to make inches you have to multiply.
From the high inches to reduce it down you have to Divide.

90 inch pounds = 7.5 foot pounds.
90 / 12 = 7.5

And the other way.
Say.
165 foot pounds = 1980 inch pounds
165 x 12 = 1980
