Question Elite Ohm Question

So im still fighting my missfire... just pulled all the plugs and tested them with an ohm meter, then tested the new plugs that were going on.... all came withen .3 of eachother, which leads me to believe the old ones are fine. (im gonna put the new ones on anyways but now i tested the coils with the ohm meter.


across leading 1&2 i get a 14.1 ohm reading

on the leading a:b im pulling a 1.6

on both trailing coils im pulling a 1.9 across a:b.

could my ohm meter be off? when i touch the terminals of the meter (nothing in between) its reading 1.2

honestly i know know much how to use a multimeter so this is kinda a learning experience for me.

end question... coils good or bad?

(spec says they should be below 1.0 ohm)

Buy a new set of leads. If that doesn't help, try a new meter. You should read as close to 0 ohms as possible when touching the leads together. My Fluke reads .01-.02, just as a reference for you.
Also, if your coils were bad you would get a really high reading, like in k ohms.
