bent rotor contact blade

yes im using the star type washer, im very ignorant of using my tester, not sure what setting to put it on, on 12v battery load,i have lots of voltage at #1 pin, but hardly anything on 2 pt harness that hooks to didtributor

That's ok.
As long as you see some power at the ECU continue the test with the other ECU.
Meter to 12v DC for voltage testing on cars. (or DC volts on some)
