Any idea which pin(s) and what the test should reveal, I read somewhere (can't find it now) it should test at 370-470 ohms only, but which pins are being probed, there are three? From a 97 Infiniti I30 lower part of engine, not the one near pulleys, that is a two bolt - to lessen the front - back - left - right confusion.

 

What is that thing, cam or crank? and what year is the car? I can link you to FSM but need the year.

 

It is a crank position sensor, but your question concerns me if you were going to answer this question!

 

The service manual does not give a resistance reading test. It says to unbolt the sensor from the car and measure for 5 volts between the white and black wires when moving a screwdriver across the tip.

See page 346.
