2) With the throttle closed, pin #1 on the connector to the throttle valve switch should show 0 ohms resistance to ground.
3) Check the Overvoltage Protection relay (OVP) for a blown fuse. The OVP usually has a red top with a clear cover; fuse under cover.

Sooooo. The over voltage protection relay was all good. I went to check the throttle valve but I really am not sure what the throttle valve is. If it has another name I might know what it is or if you could explain it or post a picture i'd greatly appreciate it. Lastly I checked the two pole temperature sensor. The pin closer to the engine was reading within tolerance(I can't remember the exact reading) but the pin closer to the radiator only gave me a reading of 4 ohms which is out of tolerance.
