MN Spark plug wires at .02 ohms on multimeter

I have been trying to figure out why my son's trirotor is running like crap. Tonight I pulled all 6 MSD spark plug wires and tested them with my multimeter. They all tested at .02.... WTF? How do they all go bad at the same time? The car floods often enough so the wires are pulled off while I remove the plugs to dry them out so the wires do get messed with a lot - I guess that could cause issues with the connectors.
I checked a wire for another car and it provided a "normal" reading of 5.1. I went back to the wires I pulled of the tri-rotor and every one of them tests at .02. Back to the new wire for another car and it still reads 5.1. Weird... I'll try a new set of plug wires tomorrow and hope the car will be running right for this weekend.
