How do these coil pack readings look to you?

Haynes says it should be around 7-8 ohms between terminals 1&3 and 2&3 on the coil pack connector. So does this really mean mine's gotta go?

Those appear out of range if it is indeed 7-8ohms. What symptoms does your car have that lead you to testing the coilpacks.

And BTW the high voltage terminals where the spark plug wires connect read about 13k ohms as Haynes says they should.

Car starts but dies shortly after a widely fluctuating idle.

Car also happens to be simultaneously suffering from battery drain and low vacuum pressure at manifold 15 in Hg(@about 1k rpms). Haynes says 17-22. I don't know what could be related to what.

Now i'm getting 15 in Hg at the intake manifold at 7500rpms

Also just pulled code 12 (volume air flow sensor)but only while the car was running, so it would go away once the car stopped running. And I wonder if it's because I removed the MAF from the box, plugged in still, but naked out of the box.

Nevermind, that was it -naked MAF

And my vacuum pressure issue recovered itself back to 18in Hg

Haynes is wrong (again sadly). Primary resistance spec is 0.77-0.95 ohms. 1.3 ohms isn't too bad, I wouldn't replace it because of that. It also will read higher if it's warm.

My bad. I misread it. It is point 7 to .86. Sorry Haynes. But i'm still off, over actually, but i'm not gonna worry at this point. Situation has changed and doesn't look like my coil pack is at fault -for the moment
