messuring from TPS ground wire to batery negativ is 2.6 ohm, from TPS wire to the spot at the block where they are bolted on I got 0 ohm resistance. from battery negativ to the spot the battery cable is bolted on I got 2.6 ohm resistance.
I do not know why there is resistance when I bolt the cable to the block but not when I messured the engine wiring itself or the cable from the battery to the block ??? when I put the cables directly to the battery ground there is no resistance between the TPS and the battery negative ground, as it should be...can I bolt the wires directly like this or not?

Looked for Tip 5 today.

It did not cure the problem. I did everything.
I have no resistance in the engine side of the wiring. No poor grounds, added new cables.
The only resistance comes when I plug down the battery cable to the block.
I also searched for the brown cable. It went from TPS another from IAT and from MAP to the firewall. Then to the left side. There is a crimp where they went into one. This goes on the left side of the block but where? The dipstick cables are different black ones...

Soldering is what i wanted to do but I can not find the other side of the lonely wire. There is no connection near the map as you wrote in your Tip 6?!?
I can take a picture so you can see it. I also built a wire from battery- to the dipstick bolt. When I take off all cables from there directly bolted to that cable 0.00 ohm. When I put all of them to the block I got 2.6 ohm
