Stick one end of a digital multi meter in the end of one plug wire and the other in the other, set it on ohms and compare the ohms to to specifications. Roughly no more then 10,000 resistance per foot with STOCK plug wires, with aftermarket low resistance you will have to compare specifications for that product.

To reset cpu try disconnecting battery for one hour.

Set it at 10,000 or 1, preferably 1.

The 6 that are the same are good but the one thats 100 ohms higher and 600 ohms higher need replacing.
