Ignition coil bad? and some other questions..

[Tri-Edge]

I checked my Ignition coil packs with my ohm meter, and alldata says primary resistance range should be .70-.86...both my packs came up as 1.1 and 1.2...but the it also states to test at 70-80deg...its currently like 50 something...would this difference in temp make such a big deal?

Also this car is a 6bolt swap...I didnt do it..and am not too familiar with DSMs...my question is are the coil packs the same from 90-95?? Would the previous owner have used the coil packs that were on the 90 engine or the 95? would it make a difference? would the connectors be the same?

-Addtion-I checked the coils since engines been running kinda sputtery under acceleration..and overall just acceleratiing slowly up the RPM range...


Thanks

Coil packs are interchangeable, but I believe the plug needs to be rewired. As per manual, check resistance between coils 1-2 and 3-4. Resitance should read ~13k ohms and if deviant +- 1-2k ohms then replace the coil pack.

I checked both these
Primary coil resistance 0.70 - 0.86 Ohms
Secondary coil resistance 11.3 - 15.3 K Ohms

The primary coil resist said to check by the connector to the coils the bottom pin and each top pin alternatly...thats where I got 1.1 and 1.2 ohms...so that would seem outta spec...

Checking the secondary resistance gave me around 13k ohms so that was ok...

So im gonna get a new set...Just wondering which to get...since they are interchangable, SBR has all 3 different ones available....the 90 style being 186.00, 91-94 at 209.00 and 95-99 184.00
Is there any benifit to the 91-94 ones to warrent a higher price or is it just a difference in the bracket??
Would anyone have some pics to show the differences?
Thanks

You can use the 91-94 with modifying the bracket. The 90 won't work because of tach interface and a different connector. I would recommend the 95-99 since that's what you have and it's the cheapest.

I have the one with the 3 pin connector...does the 95-99 use the 3 pin triangle connector too?

Yup. The 91-94 uses it too but has a different bracet.
