Default Just found my old multimeter!

Hey guys, just found it and just wanna see what I can check out under the hood.
Can anyone point me to some diagrams or something of specs i should be looking for, like voltages, resistance, etc for an sc400 please?
Things like the coils, iacv, maf, enginecoolant temp aka ect, tps, etc. Thanks guys.

If I were you, if your car is doing fine, I wouldn't mess with it. Setting the TPS to spec is not as easy as you think...it's a long process...kind of. Just search around CL, there are plenty of threads that talk about each subject.

Lol, I guess.
Been having a random cel code 31, meaning bad maf but the resistance is in spec and I randomly have an issue where car stalls once a month so I figured I'd put it to use to track down my issues.

Yeahh, its a Karman Vortex one so I dont even know how to clean it since you cant use cnc cleaner. I tried using compressed air but I doubt that did anything.

What about simple dirty things, like the TB, IACV. The most you can do is spray air on the AFM.

I cleaned the iacv and the previous owner cleaned the easy part of the tb, I'll clean the other half soon for surw.
Thanks for the suggestions.
