What's the resistance value for "continuity" in a relay? The manual says to check for continuity, but the meter reads 0.9 ohms when I test the meter by touching its leads, and reads 118 ohms when testing the relay's prongs. When I apply battery power to those same prongs, I hear the relay click, and the other set of relay prongs go from no continuity to 0.9 ohms. Seems like it's working, but I'd expect "continuity" to have a far lower value.

By the way, I checked the battery cable, and it felt secure, but I was able to tighten it up considerable. There's a little rubber gasket between the two sides of the clamp, and it barely squeezed before. I tightened it up until the gasket was bulging a bit.

Tried to get the check engine light to come on by driving hard, including up a hill. But it's still off.

The only thing I've found wrong is the fuel pump doesn't come on for two seconds when key turned to "on."
