I don't really know why your '89 has the old style green sensor. Those were upgraded with the black 4-pin component, which my '88 has. Oh well.... Yeah, 2 Ohms isn't right. Is it possible you just weren't doing the test right? Try the test I posted above for the 2-pin, before condemning your multimeter.
