HAH! i must have never actually measured it at the ECU because when i did just now i got 5v. i had an issue with a bad multimeter and i know i tested it but it must have been with the bad one. and then i got the new one and only tested the plug. which was the wrong one. it was to evap purge plug. thanx for the help everyone. and thanx to econobox for pinpointing the prob is 2 seconds flat!
