Does anyone know how many ohms our coils should show?? im getting about .8 between the two connectors and 5300 to the output. Sound right?

The specs I have say 0.6Ω to 0.8Ω on the primary and 5.5kΩ to 6.5kΩ on the secondary...[/align][/align]However, a low voltage resistance check of the secondary is only a very rough indicator of the secondary's worthiness. There could be high-resistance shorts that only show up at high voltages.[/align][/align]Thebest check of coil functinality is to use an adjustable air gap tester and crank the engine with the fuel pump disabled.[/align]

So wait, all of my coils are in great shape then. I just replaced YET ANOTHER bad coil last night and I already have another intermittant misfire. This is getting ridiculous. I added a ground strap but that didn't help. I put dielectric grease on all of the plug to coil and coil to harness connections, I just don't know why I can't get rid of my misfires... I've had this problem for the past 2 YEARS! Any ideas??

it takes FOREVER to get code thrown. And they are always misfire codes. I thought about the injector thing but it just doesn't seem right, after all these misfires and all. I'm ready to replace my wire harness...... im just at a dead end here...

Well I have the misfire issues also, and your right that are annoying. But I have been tols about 5 or 6 different things to check, 1. Fuel Filter, 2. Fuel pump, 3. TPS, 4. MAF,5. PLugs, and coils, 6. injector, and I just saw where another guy on here said he had a bad cylinder causing it? I have done all except the plugs, coils, injector, and checking the cylinder, and I still have the damn thing. So if you figure it out please let us know. Thanks
