Think my coils are bad, what are some common symptoms?

I checked the resistance on them and it is 1.0, 1.2, and 1.3 respectively form front to back. Manual says <1.0 is good, before i started my 5 spd conversion it took it for a drive and it was real sluggish, RPM's raised and fell very slowly....

How did you check the reistance? With the computer from Mazda? Or just sitting?

Anyway, soooooo many syptoms its hard to tell you. I have ***** one set, I think Im working on my second set hehe Bad driving hehe..

NO POWER is a good start, butt loads of boost, but the engine just doesnt work, so you go nowhere in a long time. Mis-fire at high rpms 6,7, or around those, but it will always happen if its the coils.. Weither your driving or sitting, it will always run like POOP!
