93 Mm v6 4x4 has just given up on life

Hi Chrio, welcome to mightyram. First up - get someone to do an error code check on it. Just because the innards of the ECU 'look' ok, doesn't make it so. And it will nail down the fault 95% of the time. 80k is past it's timing belt service interval - any stickers showing it has been replaced around the 60k mark?

I tried to check it for codes but all I had was a digital multimeter that only went down to 200 ohms... But the check engine light doesn't stay on if you leave the key in it. I tried using the multimeter on volts so I could actually get a reading and it goes like 2v, 1v, 4v, 1v, 11v, 3v, 2v, 10.5v and repeat.

you nee to use old style analog meter, not digital. voltage changes to quickly to read on digital. on analog meter you can count as the needle swings back and forth, long and sort pulses. it will repeat the codes continually one after another as many as are in the system. and In order. such a 1 long 3-short, 2 long 4-short and if nothing else it will repeat the same thing.
