well, I am pretty sure shops have a tool.....supposedly you can cehck the voltage that is coming from it, but I did this, and it seemed to be within what it should be, then I took it to a shop and they said it wasn't (I was having emision problems at the time)..

i hope this thread isn't a joke. in any case, you don't sound like you know enough to fix this. go seek the help of a real mechanic.
