Quick noobish question.

Im having some serious stuttering happening, mainly on accelerating. If it's a REALLY light acceleration it isn't too bad but if its normal it's really bad.

I Tested my ignition coil last night to get results from my primary of 1 ohms on each, spec is .77-.95. However my meters lowest ohm setting is 200 and i'm not sure it reads low enough. :\
But for the secondary I got 14.12 and 13.99, spec is 10.3-13.9.

Would you all say my coil pack is bad?

I checked the resistance of the injectors and the injector resistor box both coming back in perfect spec range.
I pulled the plugs and they look fine. They aren't very old, either are the wires.
I would've just replaced them but the nearest auto stores were closed already.

I haven't had time to run a log but plan to asap.
Haven't done a compression test yet has I haven't had time and couldn't find my tool.

Any other suggestions?

Kindly,

Shawn
 
Based on past threads, it could be as simple as a wire and plug replacement to fix. I planned to do so anyways lastnight but it was too late. now im busy at school and work till 8 tonight so not sure when ill get to it.

I am still concerned and curious about the coil and the values I got; its soo close to in spec, could it still be faulty?
