I am going to take a look tomorrow when I get a chance report back.

I do not have any clamp-on/fork style meters unfortunately.
Ok, just to clarify, if you plug the resistor in now, the car won't start. Is that right?

And if you plug in the resistor and unplug the control module, will it start again?

And it better not start with both unplugged or you have serious wiring issues!

There are four permutations:

1. Both are plugged in
2. Resistor unplugged, modulator plugged in
3. Modulator unplugged, resistor plugged in
4. Both unplugged

You have given us #2 by saying it starts in that configuration. We just need to know the other three.
