    How to check cam/crank sensors????

    My car abruptly died when I stopped at a light yesterday and have been searching high and low about this problem and everything is pointing me towards these sensors. I am getting 1-2-2-2 from the "stomp test." Which this code really doesn't tell you anything.

    I am not really familiar with using a multimeter and checking electronics. When I pull these sensors I have gathered that the cam should read about 1200 ohms and the crank should read about 650 ohms. Where on the sensors should I be touching the leads??? Should the car be on the "on" position, should it be cranking or should the car be off? I am not sure what I am doing and am looking for some direction.

    I am also checking the DME relay and am not sure what readings I should be getting and between what plugs they should be reading from. My last fear is that I have a faulty computer in my car.

    I am trying to get parts ordered today and get them shipped overnight so I can possibly have a car by the end of the week. Thanks fellas.
