SAI vacuum solenoid valve Resistance?

Just wondering if anyone has a SAI vacuum solenoid valve sitting around that they could measure the Resistance of the 2 pins?

I have the code - P0413 SAI vacuum solenoid valve not connected, open circuit - as mine was remove long ago, and would like to get rid of the CEL by trying a power resister.

Thanks

Here's something I'd try. Get a variable resistor, say a 1 megohm potentiometer (https://www.parts-express.com/1M-Ohm-Potentiometer-023-590) and wire it in place of the solenoid. Adjust it until the code goes away and then pull it out and measure the resistance with a VOMeter. Then buy the corresponding resistor. Or, maybe better yet, pick up the solenoid at a junkyard.
Was thinking that too - May even have 1laying in a box someplace
