Right now the connector is disconnected.

Absolutely, and the engine idling (steady, low idle). The connector applies a voltage to one side of the potentiometer, and connects the other side to ground. It connects the center pin, which should have about 0.7V now, to an input of the FI computer.
The pot acts as a voltage divider - it does not generate any voltage on its own. It simply 'divides' the voltage applied to it acording to its angle of rotation.
Even though it is a variable resistor, note that any resistance measurements will be meaningless. The output is isolated with a high impedance.
